Hi, I am new to hatching eggs in a incubator and need help asap.

[Mhutch]

Almost 24 hours ago, one out of our 8 babies have completely hatched. However, the other 7 are not showing any signs of bumps or cracks on the egg shells as of now.Is it safe to take the other 7 out and candle them to make sure there is still a live baby chick in there? Also, would it hurt to take out the hatched chick since there has not been any pipping that I can see at this time in the incubator with the other eggs?

Yes. remove the hatchlings ASAP.

Ok, we will remove the 1 that hatched. Should we also candle the remaining 7 eggs and if so what should they look like if they are still alive. Today is day 22.
