Should I take the chicks out of the incubator?

Should I take these chicks out of the incubator and riskarm to the other eggs I have not incubated and probably four years and got a new incubator that is much smaller and three chicks are in there and I feel like there's just not enough room for everything should I open the incubator and take the chicks out or should I just let them in there until some other eggs hatch on one day zero
Thank you
I'm attaching a picture of the size of the coop or I'm sorry incubator

How long have they been in there? I would think that with a small incubator like that, the humidity will drop quick when opened to take chicks out. And you also want atleast one chick in the brooder so the other eggs hear the chirping to encourage them to leave their eggs

Thank you. I would say the first one hatched about twelve hours ago.
Also ATM no other eggs are pipped. But if I hold this light right at the plastic window I can slightly see the chicks in the shell and I'm checking the nine out of twelve and there's life in each shell yet. So I should just keep it closed? For how long? I am on day zero

Chicks can/should stay in the incubator for 24 hours after hatch. Just keep it closed. Their peeping will also motivate the others to begin to hatch.

The chicks can stay in for a day or so after hatch. Maybe wait until the chicks have been in there for a day.
