I would avoid it..I keep mine in a small bathroom and keep the heat and humidity in that room close to that of the bator so I probably do a lot more messing with mine than anyone should truthfully. .but no, in general you want to keep it closed..but if for whatever reason you do open it..the pecks simulate mama hen and may encourage them a little (I also do it to the windows on the bator).. do u have any chicks from a different Source? I try to keep a couple in the same room come hatch time in the hopes that the peeps will encourage the hatchers..personal preference, have no idea if it effects hatch at all
