Deb I cracked my bator a very little bit little if the humidity is sky high and open all vents if some arent pipped so the ones that arent wont drowned wit h the high humidity.If they all have good pips open then they are breathing air so its not as important as far as breathing but still dont want them soaked either but worse is shrink fro m too dry.. Also if you have one or 2 hatch probably ok to leave them in for a day. They can go a coulpe days without food and water they say... ....but i usally take them out when they are pretty dry maybe about 5-8 hours. to a freall ywarm 99 .5 degree spot no drafts...; so thye dont get chilled. ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT make sure you dip their beak in the water in the brooder right away so thwy know how to drink or they wont and they will die.!!! IMPORTANT Yo gotta take them ouyt fo the bator fast if others are trying to hatch and first raise your humdity to the highest you are limiting your hatch at I do about 76... ...before you open the lid ... at least then quick take them out. .Check humidity and if it doesnt go back up to a good number in a few minutes like 15- 20 then add water .You can even mist some water in as you take the baby out so as not to shrink wrap the others. I wait until i have a few wandering around as they will roll the other eggs around and might kill a baby trying to hatch..
