Set 9 eggs in inci as my broidy left them with a few days to go...didnt think id get a hatch...hatch day was yesterday and had 2 come...another 2 over night...1 is hatching again now that leaves 4 eggs left but 1 I doubt will hatch as I think I cracked it when setting them....how long should I leave it and putting yesterdays hatch in brooder?
 
Leave any unhatched egg until day 24/25 and check of signs of life before discarding them. You can do this by candling the eggs (check for beak movement in air sac) and by holding the egg against your ear and gently tapping it with your fingernail.

If the hatched chicks are dry you can put them in the brooder, but be careful not to open the incubator too long if you have someone busy hatching in there. Keep the humidity as constant as possible.
 
Fab thankyou...after my post I did the school run and 2 more hatched lol...1 I jad to help as he was stuck but its fine now.....they are being moved yo brooder soon and gonna leave the other 3 eggs there for a bit longer x
