Managing eggs in a staggered hatch

[michickenwrangler]

March 6, I put 19 eggs in the 'bator, only one was fertile so I got rid of the rest on March 14 as they were beginning to rot. However, I need at least a few eggs in order for the turner to work properly, so I put in 5 more. Of those 5, two are fertile and developing nicely, I can see the eye and blood vessels at Day 5.

Now, Egg 1 is due to hatch March 26, meaning I'll have to go into lockdown with high humidity and no turning. Should I turn off the turner and just turn the others by hand? What about keeping humidity in?

Advice please

Thanks

I would watch the one egg untill it pipps, then turn the turner off. raise humidity with a spong, let it hatch in the turner.
As soon as it is out remove it to a brooder.

I have had one come out early in my incubator with out the humidity going up with out any problem.
