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.

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.

Can you leave a chick in an incubator with unhatched eggs even if the eggs are getting kicked around can the new chick stay there he kicked them all around will thst kill em?

The chicks should all stay in the incubator until the hatch is complete and the chicks are fluffy and dry. They should all be moved to the brooder box at the same time. The chicks will roll the peeping eggs and that is ok. Sometimes the movement of the completed chicks will get the emerging chicks to begin and that is a good thing. Do not be hasty in removing the newly hatched chicks from the incubator, they can and should remain in there for up to 24 hrs.

They need rest and warmth. Newly hatched chicks should be left in the incubator for at least 24 hours.
