Your should leave till they eat the yolk sac about 24-72 hrs and then you can move onto papertowels and should start feeding 72hrs after birth.
Good luck and congrats on the little ones!!
The babies will not eat the yolk sac. The yolk will be absorbed over one to two days then the sac will dry up and fall off.
Usually 2-3 days from the first hatching all will have hatched.
The babies can be moved from the incubator when the yolk sac is absorbed. Usually 1 to 2 days.
You should treat the torn yolk sac with an antibiotic ointment twice a day until it is healed.

Just a few sites you can check out and read for yourself!
Uh? And what's your point? You still claim that the babies will "eat" the yolk sac?
That was a typo i don't know why it says that. i don't look when typing and i have a bout 5 screens up at a time at work and soemthings tend to mesh together. I just gave a link thats all for them to check out themselves sometimes its easier to read things for yourself then having people shoving their thoughts down your throat. Not sure if you think i have something out for you or what. I just added to the post with sufficient info thanks.
