Saw another thread, and it raised a question in my mind, any answers?

After my babies finally do hatch (they are starting to pip now), when do I remove them from the incubator and move them into the brooder? I know I have to wait for them to be completely dry, is that when I remove them? What if they hatch and dry overnight while we're sleeping? I don't want my babies to die because I made a mistake. Any help with this issue would be great. Thanks.

They are good in there for up to 3 days. I don't take mine out until all are through hatching.

I was not feeling good about leaving them in there, but I did and all did great.

Thank you, my first chick is out now, and we'll have a second one shortly. This is so exciting!
