I had a chick hatch out yesterday and I put her into a box today to finish fluffing out. She was only out of the incubator for about 3 hours. But I just checked on the rest of the eggs in the incubator and noticed that I have another one that just pipped. So, I put the already hatched one back in the incubator. I figured that she would be more comfortable in there overnight anyway than in a big box all by herself (hoping it's a hen). Plus, she will help stimulate the hatching chick.

Is it ok that I did that? Will she have any problems because of it? She is just barely over a day old, so I'm not worried about her starving.
