Hey. I don’t suppose you’d know if itd be a good idea to open the bator while one externally pipped?? I had to move it and one of the eggs has rolled into a cold spot. Also I’m struggling to get the humidity below 70. And lastly one of the eggs has pipped, about 18 hours now and I’ve heard no peeps, I can see the membrane over where the shell has come away. Do I need to poke a little pin hole in that so it can breathe? So stressed

I think after they have externally pipped the concern is the drop in humidity if you take the lid off. I read 24-48 hours after external pip so I think we def have time to wait. My humidity is 74%. I believe it’s supposed to be high although mine may be too high?

Now have 5 “pippers” and lots of egg movement but nothing else. Anything over there?

When do I help. My neighbour has just sent me a picture and no change. It will be about 36 hours when I get home from work

It’s been 36 hours for me since first pip. I’m also wondering the same thing.

How big are your pip holes now? Can you see inside, hear peeping etc?
