You can take it out if you are able to keep your humidity up. Alot depends on what kind of  'bator you are using, you could shrink wrap the pipped egg if your humidity doesn't stay up after you open up to get the chick out. I hatch in a Reptipro so no worries about humidity. If you are going to do it, do it fast.

its homemade bator  humidity around 52% and seems to stay around that now . the oly thing that worries me is the chick will feel alone in the brooder until the other one hatched or am i just being daft ?
