Can you put baby in a lined cup so that the egg can come off safely?

Thank you for the reply should i dampen the kitchen towel that i line the cup with and sit him in upright? Then shall i put him under his heat plate as wont fit in incubator ? Jo x

Hello Jo, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Good luck with the ducking. I would not use a damp towel as it will cool during evaporation and chill the duckling. Try posting in the Incubating and Hatching forum for advice.

Good morning, and welcome to BYC. Is part of the yolk unabsorbed or is only the umbilicus attached to the egg?
