Hatching question

[FoodFreedomNow]

First egg finally hatched!!!!should I take the wet paper towels out?i put them in there to raise the humidity or are they fine???it rolled in some of its eggshell lol

Congrats!! Is the humidity too high? It will increase briefly right after a chick hatches, so I wouldn't panic if it's in the 80s right after the chick hatched. I'd leave the towels in - you can wet them again if you need to bring the humidity back up.

It take a lot of energy to hatch. I’d just let them do their thing. They pip internally first then get to the shell. But id be concern if they go past day 22
