I had a quail chick get caught in the space/trough where the mechanism is for the turner (I have a roller-style turner). I waited for some time, but it was stuck and it wasn't getting out on its own. I had to lift the lid and gently nudge it out and I had cut a piece of foam which I jammed in there to prevent this from happening again. I did it quickly, but now I am stressed the heck out. It will be a long day. I rolled some of the eggs accidentally in the process. The humidity had spiked a bit and it didn't drop below 68% (Coturnix Quail), temp only dropped a degree, so I hope everyone is okay in there. Has this ever happened to you? Or do you have opinions on how bad of a move this was? I would guess the lid was opened (lifted on one edge) for maybe 3 seconds.
