I had 4 eggs in the incubator. 2 of them hatched, 1 last night and 1 this morning. The other two eggs haven't pipped or moved at all yet. Today is the 21st day. Can I take the two chicks out, they are dry, or should I wait? Thanks in advance,

I would wait. A newly hatched chick can go for a couple days without food or water. Opening the incubator will drop the high humity needed for the other two to hatch properly. Wait until the chick that hatched first is 2 days old, then I would move them.
