I move my eggs off of the egg crate and into an incubation container lined with moist paper towels once they pip (or if they were manually cut, before they start trying to explore.) Even if the chance is small that they'll injure themselves on the egg crate, I'd rather be safe than sorry! I know that stuff seems pretty harsh, especially on a freshly hatched exposed belly.
That's an awesome idea! Thanks!
