Did we kill our odds?

need help!
We are on day 19 of incubation, we couldn't get our humidity levels high enough so husband decided to move the incubator to our bathroom so it was in a less drafty area. Well he slightly rolled some of the eggs during the "move" okay fine whatever but then he OPENED the incubator... Did he kill them?! This is our first attempt to hatch obviously.

That probably didn't hurt because the loss of humidity won't affect anything until the chicks start pipping. They say to up humidity at day 18 in case some start early.
I sometimes don't move to hatcher till day 20. Just procrastination on my part.

No. People do a lot worse and still get a good hatch rate. I've lost track of time and left them in the turner until the day before hatch.

Oh that's good to hear. I was so mad because I've been hand turning those eggs multiple times a day for weeks now and I want something to show for it.

Since the incubator is in your bathroom, you can run your shower for a few minutes to raise the relative humidity of the room. That will help restore the humidity in the incubator as well.
