Slit, no Pip

Hey Everyone,
Quick question; I have a clutch that is just starting to pip, one of them has slit and pipped, and two have slit but their heads are not out yet. Is this something to be worried about? I'm wondering why they would slit but not start breathing, should I finish cutting them and see if they're alive?
Thanks!

You're just not catching them with their heads out. They're almost certainly fine and will come out when they're ready to.
I often see eggs slit for a couple of days before the babies start sitting with their heads out for extended periods.

Awesome, thanks! I will go ahead and leave them alone then!
