Hatching Help - Opened door and now no more are hatching

[lfrances2140]

I am hatching pheasants for the first time. On Friday, I had about 1/3 of my 150 chicks hatched. 48 hours later on Sunday, I took them out because they were trampling all over the other eggs. I could visibly see several chicks still trying to hatch from their eggs, so I shut the door as quickly as possible. Now, 24 hours later no more have hatched! Do I open it again and try to save the shrink-wrapped chicks? I know all of the eggs that I put in were fertilized, so I am going to be really upset if I screwed up the other eggs I had by opening the door, but I thought it was the best choice because the other pheasants were ready to come out and I felt they were just making the hatching process worse for the other eggs.. I have GQF Cabinet Incubators. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It's possible that some got stuck in the shell, but it could be that they are just not ready to hatch yet.
Did you fill up your waters when you opened the door?
Honestly, I take out chicks all the time. Regardless if I do or not, some get stuck and can't proceed.
You could take one egg that was pipped and see if you need to assist or not. If not, just give them some more time.

Yes, I have water reserve tanks so the humidity level only dropped for about a minute before getting back to about 70%.

It should be fine. I had several chicks hatch a day later than usual this time because we lost power for 2 hours one day.
I wouldn't be too concerned until 3 days after hatch.
