Day 21 Hatch Day!!!

[Mommy6]

I was wondering about how long it takes a large batch to hatch? I had 34 at lockdown. I know they have all day today into tomorrow for sure, but how long to I wait for the ones who aren't hatched by tomorrow?

I woke up to a chick this morning, 2 more quickly followed, 1 unzipping as I type and a bunch more pipped!

My first baby

I had 7/7 hatch recently. One on day 20, three on day 21, two on day 22 and one yesterday, day 23. Give it at least 3 days past 21 days. Keep us posted'

My oldest chicks are 24 hours or more older, I haven't taken any out of the incubator because the last time I did, no others hatched. Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe not, I don't know. I have several more that are pipped, will the chicks be ok in there for awhile longer? Or is it better they come out, if that case what about the pipped eggs?

Some places say to leave them in until all eggs are done hatching, some places say to remove dry chicks after 24 hours... to much conflicting information out there.
