first hatch

[Kknight3]

My first chick hatched this morning around 8 and has been in the incubator all day. He/she is almost completely dry. How long do you guys normally wait before removing chicks from the incubator after they have hatched?

I would wait overnight and see if the majority of the eggs hatch. Constantly opening and closing the incubator is not good for the chicks.
