Shells in the incubator

[The Banty Babe]

This is my first time hatching. How long after the chicks have hatched do I need to keep their shells in the bator. I would like to take them out to give them more room to move around?

Don't open the incubator until all the eggs that are going to hatch have hatched...so if any are rocking, or pipped, or anything then just wait...they will be fine with the shells.

You can remove them anytime, but try and be very quick so you do not too lose too much humidity.
