I had one chick hatch today, it's only the 18th day. It is in the incubator still, it's been about 10 hours since it hatched. I was planning to leave it over night, but I am wondering what to do with it tomorrow. I think more will definitely still hatch, this one was just early. When I candled them a few days ago, they were all doing great so I think I'll still get a few more.

Do I move it out of the incubator and put it in the box by itself? Or should I wait for another chick to hatch to move it? I've never had just one chick all by itself before.
 
The easiest thing to do is to leave it in the incubator. It'll be fine for a couple days. And the other chicks will probably hatch in that time period.
