My first chick hatched about 7 hours ago and the 6th about a half hour ago. There's another 28 eggs in the incubator and about 8 or 10 of those have pipped. The observation windows just started to show a tiny bit of humidity in the corner. I know I'm not supposed to open the incubator, but is it possible to leave the chicks in there too long? Three of them look dry at the moment, so should I take them out or leave them for a while? And what about the broken shells? It is getting a little crowded in there.

I know it is hard but you can leave them in for 3 days with no problems. Yes they will step on and over everything but really it is for the best that you just leave them in there.
