[mrbstephens]

I have quail hatching. They started early and are hatching in the turner. The turner is off. This morning I see one that is trapped that had fallen between the turner and the incubator. Can I please open the incubator to help????

Too late. I opened it. I couldn't ignore it. I lifted the edge and lifted the chick out with a pencil. It's fine and humidity seams to be holding. I guess it helps that it's super humid in my basement where I'm keep the incubator.

I just stuffed paper towel in that space so it won't happen again. I'm disappointed that they are hatching in the turner, but oh well. They're cute!

That same thing happen to me. The hatched 3 days early. I came home from work to 3 chicks hatched and a lot of pips, it turned out to be the best hatch I've ever had.
