I have a chick that I need to get pics of but the only way to get pics of it, is to get it out of the incubator, cause its in a little plastic tub in my incubator to separate breeds, and i just need to know if thats ok...?

Yes. You just need to keep your humidity at 65%. What kind of incubator are you using? Does it have its own humidity control?

Ok, then you will want to limit how many times you open it and add a little hot water every time you do. If you add hot water each time it should be fine!

I would not open an incubator during an active hatch in order to take a picture of a chick, myself.
