First timer here and could use some advice. This is the start of day 21 for my chicken eggs and 2 just hatched. The humidity is in the 80’s now, and some condensation on the incubator. Is this OK?? A couple other eggs are definitely pipped. Also, can I reach in and grab out the shells? The 2 babies are really stumbling around in there. We have a broody hen we will be giving the babies to, when can I take them out of the incubator? I’d like to wait till a few more hatch and hoping they’ll be OK in there till it’s light out.

Whenever chicks hatch your humidity will rise. If any of the other eggs are pippin. I would not open it yet, few more hatch before opening the top. I kinda feel like it you have a chick that has hatched that will be inspiration for the others. If they hear their sibling, they will wanna break though. Thats just me though...
