∙ 13y agoChicks can be left in the incubator for up to 48 hours without food or water. Once removed from there, they should go to a brooder box with temperatures almost equal to that of the incubator.
Standard is 24 hours to allow brood mates time to fluff up/ dry out and bond.
Home breeders often will allow slow hatch eggs and extra two days to peep before discarding non viable eggs.

How do you chick comes out from the egg?
Chickens hatch after being sat on by the mother hen for 21 days. They are kept warm underneath her and there they form into chickens. The mother hen turns them from side to side, twice a day, for 18 days. Then, in the 3 days that follow, the chickens will hatch. Eggs can only turn into chickens if they are fertilized (the hen being mated by a rooster). Alternately, the eggs can also go into an incubator as long as a person does the same things as the mother hen - turning them.

When does a baby chicken eat after hatched?
The chick has all the nutrients it needs for the first 24 to 26 hours. They should remain undisturbed in the incubator for as long as it takes for all the other eggs to hatch. They will be fine. You will do more damage by removing them individually as they emerge from the shell. This gives them time to adjust to temperature and dry off and fluff up. Once they are ready to be moved to the brooder, a supply of fresh water in a very shallow dish and a small feeder filled with chick starter is all they need. Chick starter is available at all poultry feed stores and comes in a medicated form. The medication is a preventative for several diseases the chicks may come in contact with over the first few weeks.

How long do you keep baby chicks in the incubator after they hatch?
Usually 24 hours but it is always best to leave them all together until all the chicks have hatched. The chicks need time to dry and fluff up. When they first emerge from the shell they are wet and weak, subject to cold temperature drops. You need not worry about food and water for 36 hours since they still have some reserves from the yolk they developed from. When moving them from the incubator to the brooder box, make sure the temperature is close to the temperature of the incubator, in the high 90's directly under the lamp. There should also be room in the brooder box for them to get out of the heat is they wish.
