Hi there, had my first chick hatch yesterday and there was some blood and yolk sac that came out with him/her. There's quite a bit of "leftovers" all on the bottom of the incubator, and I was worried about the potential of bacteria or uncleanliness for the other eggs. I would assume that it's fine, but just wanted to make sure. I don't want to open the incubator, as he/she is in the fluffing process, and another chick is pipping. The other eggs still have anywhere from 1-7 days until hitching though, and I was curious about if I need to clean the incubator of the afterbirth, or if I should just leave it. Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'd rather be sure for their safety and health. Thanks!
