I bought eggs on the 5th or 6th of July, they arrived on the 10th and I put them straight into the incubator.

• 1 x Welsummer
• 1 x French Copper Maran
• 2 x Buff pekin
• 2 x millifeur pekin

I thought I was due to remove the rolling tray yesterday, I was out first thing in the morning, and when I got back around 9:30am I noticed that one of the eggs had hatched. I think a Pekin. I was unsure what to do, so about 15 minutes later I noticed it’s foot was caught under the rolling tray plastic thing, so I opened the humidifier (with clean hands etc) and removed the tray. A few hours later and I noticed that one of the larger eggs (the French copper or the wellsummer) had started to break. This was roughly 6:30pm, but may have been earlier. This morning I noticed that, that egg hadn’t really moved, and the hole was on the bottom. So I read about stuck eggs… And that’s when I found out about not opening the incubator for a sudden drop in humidity. I panicked. I think I waited about 20 minutes (reading that timing is everything) and I decided to try and see if I could help the egg. I followed the instructions from HERE, but it think I may have been too late. But now I have opened the incubator 2 more times (once to take it out and once to put it back).

Will the other eggs hatch, or have I likely destroyed any chance that they have?

I’m kicking myself hard here. but hopefully the one that did hatch could still have at least one other buddy.
