Please tell me what you would do!

Please tell me what you would do I am willing to try anything. I have 9 eggs in the incubator one hatched 14 hours ago none of the others have pipped yet. I candled them before lockdown and all but one was for sure ok. One questionable so I left it in. I know I should wait for 24 hours before doing anything but am very anxious. When the 24 hours is up what can I do to hopefully save so of them if they are still alive inside. They were shipped and have really big saddle air cells. Again please tell me what you would do and when. I really don't want this precious baby to be the only one

There isn't anything you can do but to maintain the temperature and humidity. Your humidity should be 65-70% but no more. Temp 99.5F.

I would wait 2 days past their due date, even though one already hatched early.

I would remove the hatched chick to brooder and leave others alone to hopefully finish hatching.

Yes Only one baby hatched. The others are not chirping or moving at all and no pip. I have left them in the incubator for now and will remove them in the morning. I did open one up it was fully developed and even pipped the membrane but was in the wrong place. These were shipped eggs and I am pretty sure that was the issue because of the large saddle air cells. So I have 4 new babies I will be picking up as soon as the are hatched and ready to go in 2 days so this single one will have some sisters/brothers to grow up with. I am really hopeful they are all girls.

Sorry to hear about the others not hatching Great that you were able to find other chicks that close in age for your little.
