I hve some chicks that are haching right now....... 2 have only made a small hole in the hell but havnt done much else in the past 2 hours or so. should i cut the fan off in the incubator or shoul i leave it running so it circulates the air? and how long does it take them to actually get out of heir shell and what else should i look for?

Step away from the incubator....slowly, step away. Go shopping, go clean the bathroom, go watch soaps. They are just fine. Very often they are a good 24 hours from pip to out. Make sure the humidity is up, do NOT open the top. Let Mother Nature take over, she's pretty good at this hatching stuff.
