What is your humidity reading? Should be around 65%.

What incubator are you using?? Forced air or still air? What have your temps been?

This becomes a judgement call on your part. I start helping after 48 hrs others do not. After 48 hrs the membrane does start to dry out especially if the humidity is not at 65%. Good luck with whatever you decide.
