The serama is no longer moving or chirping is whats wprrying me and the bantam is silent and still as well. i dont see any veining could they be stuck?

They could just be resting and gathering their strength for the big event. Or it could be they just aren't meant to hatch. Even with broodies doing the work they don't al make it always. If there are issues with the chicks and you help them out you may just be creating more stress for yourself. If you have one that lingers for a while before it dies I think it will be worse for both of you. I would just leave them be and let nature take it's course. I know it can be hard not to help, but it is usually for the best. If you can't stop yourself, the most I would do at this point is male a tiny hole for air in the big end.

There was something wrong with them. The do that sometimes and there is nothing to do about it.

Sometimes the problems with them are not as easy to see but there is still something wrong when they do not hatch. Sometimes their organs do form correctly and etc.

It is sad but one of those things that happens sometimes with chicks.
