To avoid overgrowth of the bacteria you have inoculated. Depending on the type of media you use, you could also have a false reading if it is left in there for the wrong amount of time.

How long do chicks stay in a incubator?

They should be left in the incubator until they are dry,fluffy and active. Do not rush to remove them as opening the incubator will effect the un-hatched and still hatching eggs. This usually takes up to 36 hours and the first hatch chicks will survive quite well without food or water since the humidity in the incubator keeps them hydrated. After 36 hours all unhatched eggs should be candled to verify viability, and the hatched chicks moved to a brooder box.
