Hi there! So I have around 21 eggs in the incubator and 8 or 9 have hatched. They began hatching on day 20 very early in the morning. We're now early morning of day 22. Im wondering when would be a good time to take out the chicks that have hatched. I still have 11 eggs left but I know if I open up that incubator I'm going to lose humidity. How much longer should I leave the eggs that haven't hatched? Is there a trick I can do to protect them while taking out the other ones? I have a broody hen I'll be giving the chicks to.

Thank yoy for your help :)
 
I take chicks out of the incubator about an hour after they hatch. If you have a brooder ready, warm...not too hot or too cold, them move them.
The sooner they start eating the better.
