1 egg pipped hours ago!

I was unsure what to do as this is my first time to ever incubate eggs. When I asked around I was told it was not a problem to leave the Turner in.
Can I remove it with chicks hatching?

As long as the turner is OFF and you keep a very close eye, it should be okay......
I hope I didn’t alarm you. Bear hugs!

It is off, I turned it off on day 3. I have been glued to the incubator since the first pip! There are now 20 plus that have pipped and the 3rd attempting its grand escape now!

BLRW chicks! Adorable little fluff balls!
We have 10 in brooder box with 15 left in incubator. All have pipped.

I had several that were infertile and 2 quitters

That stinks!! but still seems like a really good hatch rate. And sorry for deleting my post, reread it and thought maybe you meant 15 chicks still incubator rather than 15 eggs so then I was like well maybe I got it wrong about them being infertile or quitters and deleted it, feeling stupid ha

only leave them long enough to get dry but try to remove several at time so your not opening allot a peeping chick calls to the others yes your right

 

[pennyJo1960]

Turn it back on for st least till they are done hatching

Yes I took out in groups
I did mist the incubator when I took chicks out to keep humidity high
