Population Eggsplosion!

So... we started lockdown and had 1 chic hatch 2 days early, this afternoon 7 more early birds! There are 5 more pipped and so by evening there may be a dozen peepers in the bator.

My question is should I try to pluck out the dry fluffy ones or leave them all till tomorrow. They all seem to want to bunch together and I am worried the new chics may get trampled! Thanks

If you can grab them super-nija style, then do so. Try not to leave the bator open for more than a few seconds.

You can put a warm sopping wet washcloth in the bator to boost humidity back up.

Thanks! I have 2 eggs left to hatch out- whew! I may try to leave them alone tonight, but it will be tough!
