Eggs hatched early!? HELP!

[millefleur1653]

So I have hatched eggs many times in an incubator but this is the first time this has ever happened to me. I put the eggs in the incubator I think around Monday 10 and so that would mean they wouldn't be ready to hatch until this weekend. Well one just hatched out and another is on its way. I'm not sure what to do because they are in an automatic egg turner and I never did add more water because it wasn't time yet. So should I just let them hatch in the egg turner? Or open it up and remove them from the egg turner? Should I add more water? I'm worried and I want the little ones to survive and hatch out so any help/advice is appreciated!

open it, remove the turner, add water as needed. mist the eggs lightly with incubator temp warm water. your temperature is more than likely about a degree to high.

I second that I would remove the egg turner cause they can get their legs caught and a break a leg once they are out of the egg. Remove them from the turner and up the humidity up a bit to 65% and they should be fine. Sometimes when the temp gets a little too warm in the incubator the eggs will hatch early. We had a few 90 degree days here on my first hatch and we hatched out on the 18th day rather than the 21st. A pleasant surprise when they do that lol.

I third that.

You should definietly remove the turner.
Good Luck!!!

Hold on now i am confused, didnt you say you put them in on the 10th, today is the 20th, they were only incubating for 10 days?
That doesnt make sense.
I am so confused.
