some of my ee eggs have hatched a day early... my question is.. the chix that hatched are moving and flipping the other eggs, does that interfear with the other chix that have not pipped yet? anyone
It's possible to open the incubator briefly, snatch the chick, and put it in a box without much loss of humidity. Some folks have a misting bottle with plain water (lukewarm) handy, so that they can lightly mist as they're closing the incubator.
Once the chicks are fluffy, I pull them out unless an egg is zipping. I seem to have chicks hatch in 3 or 4 waves over a two or 3 day period, and doing this gives them more room in the incubator.
