My BA hatched this morning. I ditched the DIS egg and put the EE egg in the brooder with the babies for another day or 2 just in case but couldn’t get any movement with candling. Incubator cleaned and quail eggs set for November hatch!! I wanted to plan the hatch for later Thanksgiving week but 19th will do just fine!

Should I leave my hatched chicks in the incubator or take them out. This morning when I got up 3 chicks had hatched overnight. During the day 5 more have hatched. The humidity and temp has been holding great. We have 2 that have about half way zipped but stopped and haven't progressed any the rest of the day. I can see their beaks and see them breathing so I know they're alive. I still have 3 other pipped eggs and 9 that haven't done anything yet. I'm really worried about messing up the hatch by opening the incubator and I don't want to risk the 2 which are half zipped either. Their membranes haven't yellowed yet, they're staying white and they have been rolled around a lot by the 8 hatched chicks.
