First PIP! qUeStIoN?

[Urban Chaos]

I am so with you! I've 3 that have little holes in them and I am so anxious! I want to help so badly - I can see them move so I'm staying away. One question though, I have one that is hatched, do I take it out or leave it in the incubator? Is there a biting nails smiley?

If there's other eggs in the incubator that have pipped, you want to leave the hatched chick in the incubator. If you open it, it could cause an unsafe drop in humidity.

Also that chick and it's cheeping will encourage the others to come out....

This is sooooo nerve wracking.......I just went into lock down on my first hatch about an hour ago! I'm too nervous to go to sleep till the humidity looks good. Don't have any Xanax but I am getting some wine!
