Do I need to separate eggs at hatching?

[Fields of Gruene]

Do I need to separate the eggs at hatching? I don’t want the chicks hatched to mess up there hatching of my other chicks. Do I need to put in a divider or what?? Any advice??

Welcome to BYC!

No, just leave them alone actually. They won't hurt the hatching eggs. Besides, there's no way to separate them without lifting the lid and then you risk shrinkwrapping the unhatched ones that pipped.

Good luck with your hatch!

When I incubated I took chicks out as they hatched and was mostly dry without any problems.
