have you checked for internal pips yet? usually they internal pip on day 20 and hatch on 21-22

We are scared to take them out of the incubator to candle them in case we kill them so we don't know. Should we?

Taking them out of the incubator will not kill them. On my first successful hatch I had six out of ten hatch, and I candled them almost every day.

What you are looking for with the internal pip is a tiny shadowy triangle in the aircell. You can also hear the chick peeping when you take it out of the incubator and it will probably wiggle as well; they don't like to be moved around much. Another thing you want to look for is the chick moving inside the egg, and if the blood veins around the aircell have receded, that means the chick is going to internal pip/hatch soon
