I have 8 chicken eggs in a jenael incubator and one egg pipped and hatched within two hours the chick has been moving my other eggs that has pipped to where i cant see the holes and one has poop in the hole from that one chick. The other eggs were moving and chirping until that chick came out raising hell in the incubator. My question is what should i do? Take the chick out and put it under a warming lamp or leave it alone and pray my other chicks are fine i also noticed when the chick was hatching it was 67% humidity then after the chick was out its like 77% which i found odd any insight will be helpful
 
You risk shrink wrapping the others if you open it. They will be ok. As for the humidity that happens when they begin to hatch. It will go even higher when more hatch.

I know a lot of people remove chicks after they are all fluffy, if you do, do it quickly.
Im gonna leave the chick in there for now ill see what happens between now and tomo almost all the eggs were chirping and moving and pipped then that one started kicking them around and now the incubator is quiet
 
Did you rotate the other ggs back around? I am having the same problem you did. My little chicken was born at 11:30 at night. I had to go to sleep and I couldn't take her out yet because she was still wet. I woke up and she had stepped over and rolled around my other eggs who should be hatching within the next day or two. Is it OK if I leave them even though they are no longer in the correct position?
