    Removing chicks with eggs in incubator

    Hi everyone, our first chicks have hatched, 2 of them. We still have 2 in the incubator, one has pipped. How long do the chicks need to be in there? Can I take them out and put them in the brooder while the eggs that haven't hatched are still in the incubator?
