my 3 chicks have been in the incubator for about 24 hours. should i wait for the 2 other eggs to hatch ,that have already piped and are peeping, and then put all the chicks in the brooder?
 
I pull my chicks once they are dry and transfer them to the brooder. Good Luck!


I plan on doing this too unless there are others hatching closely behind it. I don't want to leave it in there for two days or more. I think the reason most wait it out is when they're all hatching closely and they don't want to change the humidity and the temps for the pending hatches.
 
I don't remove mine if others are pipping unless it has been two days. Then I make sure the room is warmed up so when I take the chicks out, the temp won't drastically dropped. Good luck. :thumbsup
