Have you ever had a chick dry & stick to the bottom of the bator?

A chick hatched while I was at work and proceeded to stick to the plastic basket insert of the bator (Brinsea Eco 20). She is the second chick out (of 19 eggs), so there are about 5 pips and two others hatched.

Should I leave her alone, wait till everyone has hatched to try to peel her off the bottom?

Or should I go in and moisten/peel being carefull not to let the humidity drop below 60ish??

If you have other pips you CANNOT open the bator without risking shrink wrapping the pipped eggs. It has enough yolk sac to survive, while it may be uncomrtable, it will be fine.
