Help need question answered.

I have a chick that hatch early looks alright, still in bator, I am waiting on the others to pip and hatch. Question how long can the early bird stay in the bator before I have to open and remove it? I do not want to open while the others are close. Tomorrow will be day 21 the first chick hatched out this morning early.

I am new to hatching fever! However I read on here that they can stay in up to 72 hours. I removed mine earlier becaus ethey were rolling the pipped eggs around.

Just make it fast so you don't disrupt your temp and humidity.

Sorry, forgot to add that.

24-48 hours , I dont know if I would be comfy with 72 hours but I havent hatched anything yet.
