So I had 1 pip last night, and 2 more when I woke up this morning, I now have 3 chicks mostly out of the shell. If they get out, and dry off, and no other eggs have piped, can I move them to the brooder, or should I just wiat until I am sure all others are/are not going to hatch?

Also, looks like one of the chicks made a hole that might be alittle too small for it to get out, should I do something?
 
Most will tell you to wait and do nothing for another day or two, talking about losing humidity and other things and to not help the babies out either. I know that I am not as good or patient so my incubator is in my bathroom where I can get the room very very humid (more humid then the incubator) and so then I can risk opening up the bator and quickly grabbing the hatched chicks without any risk of losing humidity
 
Thanks,, I now have 4 eggs with no pips, and 4 chicks in the bator. Just waiting on them to dry out, and fluff up. As long as I do not have anymore pips, will it be OK to remove the chicks and then leave the other eggs in the baotr for a few days to see if they are going to hatch?
