Can you candle a few? Sorry I don’t have any experience with an incubator. Hopefully someone else will reply.
4 eggs have cracks in them now I guess will just wait it out thank you for ur response any idea how long we should wait? We were thinking 2 days from when the 1st chick hatches ? Then take what's in there for chicks out and then put water in the trays and give it a few more days just to make sure
 
The teachers in the school I work at just take the chicks out of the incubator once they’re fluffy and place them in a brooder leaving the other eggs to hatch when they’re ready. They always have great hatch rates
 
If the temperature was on the low side the eggs can hatch a day or two late and if the temperature is on the high side, a day or two early. Have you calibrated your thermometer?
