ok, i'm new, so hi everyone! And I have, perhaps a silly question regarding my hatch.
My first chick has hatched, fully out around 5:30 this morning, the second egg just started pipping (I hope I'm using the term correctly)
Now I know that you are not supposed to lift the lid this close to hatching, but I also think you are supposed to take them out within 48 hours... so what if they haven't all hatched by then? Do I endanger the remaining eggs, or make the chicks wait a little longer.
Or if they haven't hatched by then, should I just discard those eggs. Sorry if this is silly, I'm all excited and nervous about our first hatch
