Yes one other litte egg pip hole and the chick has gone near that egg

Will the chick in the incubator be ok in there - how long can a chick stay in the incubator for

A couple days.
Best to move them from incubator to brooder in groups of at least 2, so noone will be alone..

still waiting for the other egg to zip yet, the chick has pooped in there and looks like trying to get the moisture off the dome, not fully fluffy yet

Can you see the pipped chicks beak?
Moisture on the dome is too much humidity.

can't see the beak, but then could not with the other one till it was zipping around
when you add any water there is moisture on the dome lid think that is how this incubator is

Be careful about water too much they can drown in shell need to find that balance
