    If you can really quickly reach in and pull it out and put it in the brooder, you can try but they can stay in the incubator for 24 to 48 hours and be ok, just keep an eye on him/her. I have pulled some out and made sure the humidity stays up by adding warm water (just not too much or they don't dry out).

    If there are no pips, you're definitely fine pulling him out.
    Congratulations on your chickie! [​IMG]

    I would give them at least give them more time, if one is out chances are he will get the others going very shortly..
