Help! Today is day 21 and my light bulb in my homemade incubator just blew. What do I do? Take eggs out and switch the bulb as fast as possible? What to do with the eggs? Will it hurt them?
 
you can try to replace the bulb but until then put the eggs on a soft place with a brooder lamp down on them and they should be ok, i hope everything works out for you
 
gently set eggs on a soft place then cover them with a bowl (don't let eggs touch the bowl) replace bulb and gently return the eggs

I put the carton I had the eggs in into my other incubator I have silkie eggs into and switched the bulb. I was super fast and I know your not suppose to open the incubator while on lockdown. I hope it hasn't disturbed them too much!
 
as long as they are not externally pipped and you got you humidity back up quick it shouldn't be a problem.
