Assisted hatch on 24 hrs externally pipped chick, are these veins?

They can dry off in the brooder, the humidity will prevent them from drying off. 12 hours is plenty long, I don't let mine stay in the incubator over 8 hours.

Good to know, thanks! I moved two as soon as I saw your message and they are very happy (as are my kids). Will move the other three after dinner as the room the incubator is in is calmer than the one with the brooder.
