Yaay 1 just hatched and its so cute

Can someone please help me how lobg does it need to stay in the incubator for also can I open the incubator help

12-24 hours, try to wait for all eggs that are pipped now to hatch until you open the door (you'll kill the ones who are pipping).

Please search the archives for these types of questions you will find immediate answers there.

I go on lockdown on day 15 and put humidity at 65% on day 16.
