I am not sure, but will bump you up. I say leave them alone and give them enough humidity.

If it was me I wouldnt open the bator. Opening the bator lets the dry air get to the eggs. They seem to take thier sweet time. They will more than likely be just fine.

Chicks take 24 hours or longer from pips to zipping out. They rest after zipping out of the shells it's hard work. Give him a few hours to rest and fluff.
