So my first chick is supposed to hatch tomorrow but I have eggs in the incubator that were put in late and still need to be turned does this effect the other chick that hatches soonI Don't want the embryos do die on me any answers help thanks!
 
You have to put all the eggs in at the same time, unless you have 2 incubators. But since it is now too late, what I would do is take your turner out but very quickly turn your eggs that are still progressing even though you are not supposed to open your incubator during lockdown, in your circumstances you may need to.
 
No I have one incubator and eggs I put in dead ones places so they were put in a few days later
 
Don't worry if they are only a couple of days apart! Baby chicks don't all hatch together under Mama Hen either. They have enough yolk absorbed from the egg before hatching so they don't need food and water for the first 72 hours. You can leave the hatched one/s in there until the others are born. Please keep us posted! Good hatching!
 
Well now I Have a new problem it's been 3 hours since the first pip and no more breakage. she/he is peeping and moving but no more cracks in the shell anything I can do?

Don’t worry. They can take up to 24 hours to progress after pipping. I’d just leave them be till morning.
