I wasn't supposed to transfer (to lockdown)until tomorrow and I have a pip. The humidity was WAAAAYYYY low for hatch. Could the chick make it?

Apparently mother nature decided you would be fun to play with. Bump up the humidity and sit back and wait for your baby!!!!

I got a whole 'bator full...I'm not sure if the other eggs are ready....
I discoverd two pips when I went to start lockdown. I quickly got the eggs in their hatching cartons and put the rubber shelf liner down then jacked the humidity up to 65. I had a 22/24 hatch and the two that didn't hatch had quit in the second week. I bet you'll be fine.
ETA: The whole lot was popping out like popcorn within 24 hours.

Well, I was worried about that first one, but I came home to find four Mottled Javas out...one zipped and a bunch more pipped.
I also have Bantam Buckeyes that I left in the other bator, as I figured they needed another day; we have a pip there, too!!!
