Worried about heat element and chicks

So what should I do??

I have one that looks to be completely dry, but the other 2 are still wet, one especially so, he/she just hatched about 10 minutes or so ago.
 
I take mine and put them in the brooder even if they are still a little wet. If it is really wet like just hatched, then maybe reach in really quick and grab out the other 2 and then wait for that one to dry a little more.
 
I didn't have this problem with them getting close to it until I started using egg cartons for the eggs to hatch in. When I lay them on the mesh screen they didn't get high enough to touch it but now that I use the egg cartons they can.
 
I've had one singe the fluff on top of his little head before in a Little Giant. I took him out early and put him in the brooder.
