HELP NOW!!!!

[MGG]

I need help right away.... i tgink i just put too much water in my incubator and it mightve gotten into the heater/ fan and it is fogging up way too much.... my chick is in lockdown and i am not supposed to open the lid but i need help!!!!!!

If it got into the heating element your incubator might be ruined. Is the chick externally pipped?
The incubator should be opened, and remove all of the water. Run it for a few minutes dry so it can get stable again, and then slowly re-add a smaller amount of water. Only if the chick has not yet externally pipped though.

I'd recommend candling it to see if it is still alive. It is possible you have a late hatcher.

It sounds like you've already received good advice. To reassure you a little, short spikes in humidity won't harm the hatch. So as long as it is managed it will be just fine and there isn't any harm in opening the incubator prior to external pips. Fingers crossed for your hatch!
