This one pipped on day 19 and hatched day 20.

It was lying around going omg I hatched and now I am really tired, its asking me, "when will I find my land legs?"

It was wet at 5:30am and seems dry now at 9:24am but when is the best time to take it out? (ie running around jumping on its siblings?)
Its a bantam chicken will it have enough yolk to survive on?
 
I always wait till 48 hrs. after the first one hatches and take them all out. Unless they all hatch before that. I found it is best not to open the incubator until they are done. Of course this is just my way of doing it, someone else may differ. Perry..

Gererally, you can leave them in there with no food or water for up to 72 hours.

They live off of their ubsorbed yolk. But as long as there are no other pips, you can take them out
once they are totally 100% dried off. (:

Unless there are so many hatched that they are over crowded I take mine out once a day. Just the those that are dry and fluffy. I then give the inside of the box a quick mist of water to bring the humidity back to where it should be then close it up again.
