Make sure that the pip and small end are pointed upwards. I have had many chicks get 'turned around' and pip/hatch from the small end.

ok, thanks! its weird- for some reason its the EE's that do this... the others hatch by the book...
The last two hatches I've had (both were wyandottes), there's been several eggs that pipped at the small end. The first hatch was shipped and had weird air cells, so I attributed it to that. The second hatch was local eggs, so it threw that theory out of the water.
Anyway, they hatched out fine.
