Opening the bator??

[Poultry keeper12]

Hey, I have seven of my white giant mixed breeds in my incubator. in my previous batches when the chicks hatch they are learning how to walk, the turn all of the other eggs that have piped, my question is, is so i risk the chance of opening the incubator to turn them back to where they were? or leave them? And also it is day 18 today so I am coming close. Thanks,

You can leave them, don't worry

Leave it closed. Best practice is not opening at all during lockdown until the last chick has hatched. Turning the eggs will not affect the hatch rate...

I hatch 50-100 quail at a time. After 5 hatch out all the eggs get rolled around...
