Can I remove hatched chick from incubator

Also, because the chick had walked all over the other eggs, do you think they are damaged or facing the wrong way? Should I be worried? Today is day 21 and about two hours ago I didn't see any pipping...I saw lots of moving from one of the eggs yesterday.

Air cells? Do understand they will be bigger when you Candle. Gives the chick something to pip. They pip on their backs and to the top side of a egg on its side.

Air cell provided oxygen so the Chick so it can pip out..

Although the chicks bouncing the eggs around is alarming, it usually doesn't cause problems.

Has caused problems for me if the egg was knocked upside down and pip on the bottom then.

Do you recommend possibly turning them a bit to see if they pipped on the wrong side?

I recommend candling to see where the air cells are. Then put them right.

But wouldn’t removing them or shaking them cause them to have more problems or die?
