Incubator duckling/chick removal question

I have 7 duck eggs in the nurture right 360 incubator. First time ever incubating and I plan to do chicks next so this question applies now and in the future lol. Anyways, of the 7 eggs, three hatched today between 4:45-7:30...one hatched around 4:45 then when I got back home at 7:30-7:40ish there were two more already hatched. There are 4 eggs left, three are pipped for sure (only one has a hole, the other two are just cracked) so I'm wondering how long can the hatched babies stay in there while waiting on the other 4 to hatch? Hatch day was originally supposed to be Wednesday. I don't want to risk harming the unhatched by opening incubator but I don't want to harm or anything happen to the ones that have hatched by leaving them in there.
Thanks in advance for all advice!!
 
Just woke up for that 2am pee break 😂 went and checked on them and another has hatched... Do you think if I wait until this evening around 7:30 or 8 I can do a quick grab of all that's inside? Some will be a lil over 24 hrs and some under depending how many hatch while I'm at work today. If I do that do I need to spray a squirt bottle on the cracks of the remaining eggs so they don't shrink wrap?
