Opened incubator on lockdown and didn't know mallard externally pipped!

[happyhatcher1981]

Hi wonderful kindred spirits!! I have a mallard, cayuga, welsh harlequin, and white crested in lockdown. I dabbing up a little condensation on the incubator floor had it open maybe 30 seconds and saw our first external star pip on the mallard...should i be worried that time with lid open would harm the mallard? Thank you!!

For a that small amount of time it should be just fine.
