Emergency help needed-miscalculated lock down date

[mener6896]

I forgot to write my set up date on the calendar, and I thought today was lock down. When I went to lockdown and add water for humidity, I already had 4 pips. They were in an auto turner, and the humidity was only at 30 percent. I got the turner out and added water as fast as I could, but will the hatch still be successful? Please give me some good news...

If you have 4 pips, thats good! Let us know

I have completely forgotten hatches before and had chicks hatch in the turner, they were fine.

I think they will be totally fine. I have read of folks doing the same thing and no problems! Let us know how it works.

Should be fine.

so relieved...I recently lost 25 birds to coyotes, and put these in to start rebuilding my flock. I couldn't imagine having another loss...
I'll let you all know how it goes.
