I would wait, the first set of leaves are especially delicate and IMPORTANT. If you lose those, you will lose the plant. Growing well is all about patience.

If you pick them off be gentle but you can wait will fall on its own as it out grows the husk .

you need to remove them, they sometimes need a little help be very gentle and remove with fingers, also spray down to get rid of human oils on the seedlings, very very delicate man
