    I think no one wants to answer this because , in my experience, when you open the incubator that pretty much ends the hatch. Why do you think they will drown? I wish you luck but sometimes you just get a bad hatch.

    Would a weasel rip open the intestinal area but leave the head?

    I have seen Fox and possums both eat that way. If you can find a live catch , put a can of cat food in there and put it inside the coop. If it is a possum or raccoon you should catch it that way, if its a fox you wont.
