Thanks for your replies. I assisted the chick and he's fully hatched and doing great!
The oldest is 27 hours old when should I take them out? It's nearly day 22 and 5 of the 17 didn't hatch, ones pipped

Congrats on the assist and chicks! I would get the dry chicks out. If you feel others may hatch, use a spray bottle with clean warm water and lightly spray the eggs and inside the machine with water after opening and removing chicks. This should help replace any humidity lost.

Here is an article that tells a lot about helping chicks hatch (both when to help, and how to help). It might be handy as a reference for the future:

Thank you! I'm also just learning and I'm afraid of hurting my chicks.
