Is it okay for yoke to be left in the egg after a chick hatches out?

Hi

I am on my third time ever incubating chicken eggs. So on my first hatch, 2 chicks hatched with a small amount of yoke left in the shell. They are now about a month and a half old, and doing fine. On my second hatch two more chicks had yoke left in the shell. They too are doing fine. When I first saw the yoke left in the shell I was really worried. But it did not seem to affect them. Should I be worried about this? Or is it okay for a small amount of yoke left in the egg? My next batch will hatch in 8 days, and I don't want dead little peeps.

Any feed back helps Thank you
