Once they all start pipping (or hanging their heads out of the egg), I move the eggs to another container with a wet paper towel and a small water bowl. They will come out on their own, then I discard the empty egg as they leave the egg. You can rinse them off if you wish, or leave them alone. I normally rinse them and sex them and leave them together. The reason I rinse them is it gives me a chance to give them a good look to make sure everything looks OK. I leave the box in the incubator until they shed.
Once they shed, I move them into my baby racks. I usually offer their first meal a couple of days after I move them to the baby rack.
Looking forward to the pictures.
