Even with the flap back over them they still build up junk in the albumin of the egg and bacteria starts growing on the veins. If they are incubated at 88 degrees and he cuts on day 52-53 there is still a good chance that things could go wrong with the amount of time before they come out of the egg if they are not maintained and flushed out every couple days. I cut on day 55 and incubate at 89 degress and in the 4-6 days before they come out i have to flush them out several times during that period even with the flap flipped back over. Ya they may be fine but why take the chance if you arent going to be there to keep an eye on them.
