day 18 set up bator for final run, eggs sat on wet paper towel

hello,

i am only on my fourth batch of hatching eggs!

problem is i have 2 bators going (some on day 18 some on day 14)

i went to fill/set the bator for the last 3 days, no turning high humidity and i placed the eggs on paper towels. i went outside for an hour and when i came back in, water had wicked up onto paper towels and eggs sat on damp paper towel for an hour.

i dont even know why i set them on a paper towel, but i did it last time after i took out the egg turner and they hatched out fine.

do you think i killed the hatch? it was only an hour! to many chores! i was running around to beat the rain

I think you will be fine. The egg isn't so porous that it would have soaked up enough water to drown the chick that fast... You probably caught it in time.
