This is my first time hatching. Out of 42 eggs, I have around 30 left. This morning I noticed one of the shells looking like it was pecked from the inside.
I put them in the incubator around 10PM on March 30. Lockdown is tomorrow, however I was going to candle one last time. We opened the incubator and there was one duck hatched, luckily it did not get caught up in the turner. We unplugged the turner immediately, and put the lid back on.
What am I supposed to do?? I still need to get the other eggs off the turner, but am afraid this duckling will get too cold. We have a brooding box set up, so would it be ok to go ahead and take it out, or would it be ok to leave it in the incubator while we removed the turner? I would like to move them all together.
Incubator is a hoverbator 1602N with egg turner, wired a PC fan for the fan. I don't know the humidity, but the temp is 100, it has been going up, and I keep turning it down. Only one tray has water at the moment.
