Unplanned staggered hatch in incubator!

[SanamsChicks]

So I’ve got a chick pipping! 3 days late but still alive! My question was as incubator is on lockdown if this chick hatches should I leave the incubator shut till Saturday? It won’t die of overheating etc will it? I know it can survive of yolk but wasn’t sure about temperature.

I might give it some nutridrench as soon as it hatches and put it back. As soon as it is dry, I would move it to the brooder.

My plan was to try introduce it to the Mummy hens as three of them are mothering 6 chicks so I was hoping maybe one would take it on? Is that a possibility?
