    Fan on or off during hatch

    Hi, I have 12 BLRW eggs and one just hatched, I have an LG incubator with a fan I added myself. My question is should I leave the fan running as they hatch or should it be turned off? This is my first time and all is going well, just not sure about the fan as they hatch. Thanks for any help.
