Only 1 hatched so far.. :/

Small incubator: 1 hatched out of , I have 2 more due today, No Pip yet!
this one was in smaller incubator with only a temp Gage..
at about 100 no humidity Gage..

LARGER incubator, have about 10-12 eggs due on Sunday, says temp about 99-100 humidity at 66%.. No sign of anything.. should I combine the two incubators??

Worried about the temps being off :/

All were fine before lock down.. at last candling..
 
I would go ahead and move them to the larger incubator with the humidity gauge. If your humidity is too low they could become shrinkwrapped once they do pip. If you're humidity is too high they could drown. It seems like the temp and humidity levels in your large incubator are just right. Have you seen any movement from the 2 remaining eggs?

Hard to tell hatch one is knocking them around alot

When you go to move them hold them in your hand for a bit and you should be able to feel if they are moving around. Also, hold them up to your ear to see if you hear any tapping. Having them out if the incubator while you do this won't harm them. Just make sure that you don't have the large incubator open for too long so it doesn't lower your humidity level too much.
 
You can also go ahead and move the hatched chick to a brooder box when you remove the 2 remaining eggs as long as it is dry.
