WOW! You had a heck of staggered hatch there. In the future I would recommend no more than two hatch dates in one bator. Makes things alot easier. The ones that were due 4 days ago, get em out before you have a mess on your hands. Same with the ones due on the third. Candle the rest for signs of life, and if there are none, get em outta there!
