You did the right thing. In my experience, the late hatchers don't
make it most of the time. I end the hatch after 24 to 48 hours
depending on how it's going, no excuses.

Of course, in an incubator and early or late hatch can be your fault,
so you have to account for that. Congrats on the good hatch!
