My son opened the incubator!

I can’t see humidity it’s just temp. They are silkie eggs I pulled from my hen and didn’t know how long they were under her, had one hatch Friday and one is shaking and one has a tiny crack

We’re going to need pics, you know that right?

Just let it be. Chicks take their time. From pip, to zip can take 6 -12 - 24 - even 48 hours. This depends on the chick, they hatch when they're ready. I've had chicks pip, & hatch within a few minutes. But the quick hatchers aren't that common.

Opening the incubator isn't gonna hurt them. Shrink wrapping isn't immediate, it's something that take 12 - 24hrs of super low humidity to cause it.

I take it that you can't see the eggs through the side of the incubator and that's why you opened it and saw the pip.

Yes, correct
