OHH!!

OH!,....almost forgot!........leave the ones alone in the box that you didn't notice move. If they are alive, they will stick their heads out by the morning too. If you keep spooking hatchlings when they are wanting to pip and stick their heads out, all they will keep doing is ducking back and hiding because they don't think it is safe to venture out. I have even known of some to go so far back into the egg, they got disoriented in the tight coils of the egg and actually drowned. So in other words, if by the morning all of them haven't at least pipped the egg and you don't see leaking slits and/or bubbles from them breathing, just carefully cut their surface about an inch long and leave them alone for another day or so. Then you should see more heads.
