Moving Chicks from the incubator

[Fire06]

Hey all, I have my first hatch underway and it’s going goo so far. 20 eggs so far I have 9 hatched and two pipping. The 9 in the incubator right now are full of energy and knocking around the other eggs pretty good. Will this effect the rest of the eggs from hatching ? Also I would like to take the 9 out they are all dry and fluffy but I’m scared I’m going to shrink wrap the pipping eggs. I thought maybe move them up into the garage because we have some pretty warm weather right now and might be the best to avoid sending a rush of cool air into the bator when I try to snag the 9. Also I figured the humidity would be higher in the garage as well. I’m still worried about the pipping ones as well though. I would like the get the shells out to becasue it’s started to smell bad in the bator. What’s everyone’s thoughts. Best for my girls

Oh and today is day 21 so it’s and early hatch and I want to make sure the ones in there still have the best chance. Thanks again. Looking for any suggestions.

Leave it closed until they’ve all hatched. They don’t need food/water for 2-3 days and it won’t hurt the hatching eggs if babies are running around - it actually encourages others to hatch
