Leave them alone !
Saddle shaped air cells shouldn’t be a problem. It can take 24 hours from pip to zip. Leave them be!

well i left them alone and one is out all on his own, i turned my back and he must of zoomed round the egg to get out, he's in there shouting at the others i really hope the other two make it as he will be lonely. fingers crossed, this is the first time i got air saddle chicks to hatch. come on you two little ones hatch.
