I leave mine in the incubator until they are fluffed up dry and running around in the 'bator. Usually 24 hours. I don't take 'em out if another egg has pipped or zipped, though, because that could "shrink wrap" the not-yet-hatched chick(s).

But as soon as I put the hatchlings into the brooder, I have water and feed ready for 'em. They get their beaks dunked into water right away. They generally find their own feed by themselves.
