Day 18 and pipped egg still on roller!

[ChickM]

Hello! I’m on day 18 with my chick eggs. As usual I took the eggs to candle them and determine what eggs were still alive or not before placing them in lockdown. I took one egg out and began candling it and than noticed it had began to pip I put the egg back in and raised the humidity but it was out for a little under a minuet. Will it be okay?

Honestly I lifted my incubator and took it out eggs to assist hatched and put them in back in and didn’t have too many problems. As long as the chick has air don’t worry about the babies being in an egg for 48 hours and see if they can hatch themselves. I wouldn’t do it a bunch because I live somewhere where the humidity is 55 so there wasn’t as high of a risk. If this baby doesn’t hatch in 48 you may need to step in. And this community can walk you through the whole process.
