Nice picThey don't need a safe hole until they have been internally pipped for at least a day, if not 2... so I think maybe you are jumping the gun a bit... I know it's nerve wracking though, especially when you get so many late losses... it sounds to me like there is still too much fluid in the egg at hatch time...
What bator are you using for incubating? Oh, btw, watch that digital LG for temp spikes, they're notorious for them...
What do you keep the humidity at while incubating? Are you misting or sponging the eggs at all? Are you using a conventional auto turner, a side rolling one, or hand turning?
What do the air cells look like at lockdown? How big are they?
Would like to help you get a handle on the issue, I know how devastating it is to keep trying and losing them...
Here is what an internal pip looks like...
