How long does it take for a chick to get out?

Baby #1 hatched while we were at church

Baby #2 my kids were able to get a video of it hatching. We also have a pip in one of the easter egger eggs.
Bo started pecking at this one and drew a little blood. The kids were concerned so they brought her inside. I put her back under the hen tonight after it was dark. Hoping she will accept her.

Congrats on your new chicks!

Bo seems to have accepted the second chick. We now have 3 and and a fourth egg with a pip!

Yay! 5 of the originally 7 eggs hatched. I took one egg out at 14 days because it wasn't developing. Last night there was still one egg left. It may have been laid a day after the rest. How long do I wait? Will the hen leave it if it doesn't hatch?
