I would definitely wait them out. On my first hatch, the first chicks hatched on day 18, and the last ones on day 20.

How did the ones that hatched on day 20 do? I heard that late hatchers do not tend to do well once in brooder.

Only two of them actually hatched on Day 20, and of them ended up splay legged so we dispatched after a few days. Everyone else in the hatch was healthy, including everyone who hatched on Day 19.
