Opening incubator during hatch?

[Jess89]

So during hatching it’s okay to add water to the sponge I have in there to increase humidity. I’ve had a time keeping my humidity up during this. I have two chicks that hatched today and one has pipped early this morning and has made no more progress so I’m getting concerned with it. But I opened to add water when the other two were pipping and they are quite vocal.

I get them out quickly. As above poster says , this is not a reccommendation but I do it and no problem. I do a stagering hatch so I am putting a couple new eggs in every day and taking chicks out every day. It is working for me. Chicks poppin out all over the place. Just sayin.

How do you do that with different temperature and humidity requirement during the hatching period?

We can learn from Big Hatchery.
I think they keep close until last day. CMIIW
