Make sure she has some type of calcium supplement, I use the parakeet cuttle bones for mine. She might be eating the eggs, or they could be so brittle (the shell) that the buttons are breaking them when they scurry around their cage. What type of feed are you giving them?
The first week they need the heat to be closer to 100 degrees so they don't pile on each other. Did you start them on paper instead of shavings for the bedding?

One of the africans has finally hatched, the other one is just sitting there. If it's not out by this evening, I think I'll help it out. The one that is hatched is completely absorbed, so I think this other one should be the same.
I did open the shells of all 3 eggs, and opened the membrane on the american blue. Apparently I should have just went on with that one, cause it died this morning There wasn't much blood left in the veins, and like I thought, the membranes were very dry. Both the africans are hanging in there...
