When do I get these out? I'm afraid to open incubator since it's so early and the others are still in there...help...

For them to be hatching on day 23. Sounds like temp is running a few degrees high. We're your eggs picked up from your hens daily or were they allowed to set on them. If your brooder is ready pull the hatchlings out.

If you're using an lg they are notorious for being off. Always double check with an accurate secondary thermometer. Since they came from another party. There could be a possibility they had been started incubating. Or it could be hot spot in the incubator. Just keep an eye on the rest see if they hatch around day 28. Congrats on the 2 that hatched. Sending you the best the rest hatch for you.
