Just need reassurance

Not sure if anyone will check here or if I should make a separate post. One chick hatched at 6pm yesterday and one overnight before 5 am. There are 3 more eggs that have pipped but seem to be taking their time. Two pipped last night and one about an hour ago. So maybe a while till hatch.
How long can the other 2 stay in without food or water? They are really pecking at each other too.

The others are good for 48 hours as they'll be sustained by their yolk sac. You can super quickly remove them if you want - I haven't had any issue doing this - as long as your incubator keeps humidity and temperature really easily and you're in and out super quickly.
 
Glad I just let them be. So far 7 hatched and 2 more pipped. It is the end of day 22 so these bantams definitely did not come early. 1 was born on day 20, 2 born on day 21 and 4 born on day 22. We will see if the other 2 are born on day 23. Thanks for all the advice!
