Yeah for all the hatching chicks.
Question: how long do the chicks in the incubator take to get dry? One hatched about 4 this evening and it still looks wet in some areas.

Ok that makes sense as to why they are still looking a little wet.That will depend on your incubator's environment. They're good for 2-3 days on nutrients, so they have plenty of time to dry off without causing an issue there.
I am tempted to pull them out and might do that at the end of today as the other eggs in there have to be on lock-down tonight. Thank you for your suggestion. This is my first time hatching and it is stressful and exciting at the same time.That's why I take them out as soon as they're walking well. I know I "can" leave them in but I don't see any reason to. They will dry out quick in the brooder and not be running all over my eggs or any slower chicks.
