When to move chicks into brooder as quite cramped now

[finlay225]

Hi all. I have hatched 7 leghorn chicks today so far in my brinsea mini. They hatched between 9am -2pm. Been watching it all and it has been amazing. It is now nearly 3pm and I still have one egg remaining, although no signs of anything happening with that one. Shall I just leave them until tomorrow in the incubator? Not opened it so all the shell is in there and it looks a bit cramped. It is my first hatch. I've attached a pic, many thanks for any advice,

nicola.

When to move chicks is a personal decision. There is no right or wrong. I remove mine as they become active.

Thanks for that. I decided to move them that evening into the brooder as the incubator was looking disgusting!! As you can see they are doing really well
