I have a variety of colors, not hatching for specific colors, just general hatching.

I took 4 eggs from broody hen that was inconsistently sitting and put them in incubator with some other eggs I gathered to incubate (had no date on when these were laid). upon candling I recently noticed movement and realized they were further along (I am a total novice at this). I had been turning them with my other eggs until I noticed more movement and peeping. so I moved all other eggs to my other incubator so I could lock these 4 down. 1 hatched yesterday afternoon but nothing from the other 3 eggs yet. how long should I give them to pip and should I move the 1 duckling to the brooder?

The ducklings should be taken out a few hours/ or earlier after hatch, leaveing them in their too long they will jostle the other eggs around and possibly disorient the other ducklings.
