Celadon Hatch. Day 17. Can't stop watching... Very Nervous...

[Urbanhomestead_ut]

I woke up this morning (day 17) with 5 external pips (our of 26 eggs)... but literally NOTHING has happened since. I am anxious for SOMETHING to happen... anything really . Is it normal for them to break through and then stop?
Is it normal for only 5 to be pipped and 21 with nothing yet?
I am hoping I didn't do anything wrong....
Nobody told me hatching chicks would make me so anxious/nervous.

It can take 24 hours between pip and zip. Don't worry about them yet.

Mine hatched two days after the first pip. Both pipped and non-pipped eggs hatched at the same time after those nail-biting two days.

That is so good to know. We only have 6 of 26 pipped currently and we're going into day 18. The first one pipped almost 24 hours ago.

As of this morning we have 10 hatched total (16 unhatched). We are just starting Day 19.... so hopefully we get a few more. (I'm hoping for at least 15 total). The 16 left have not pipped externally... I hope that's not a bad sign.

Colors so far
4- Tibetan
2- Tuxedo (I'm guessing Rosetta Tuxedo currently)
4 - Yellow (each one also as 1 or 2 dark spots on them). I am not positive but I'm guessing Panda. I've been told English Whites can have a few dark spots as chicks too). Trying to get some good pics of them.

Something I found interesting watching this hatch play out.... All 4 Yellow chicks hatched first, then the 2 Tuxs and then the 4 Tibetan. They weren't in random color order. Not sure if that was just coincidence or something to do with when they were laid etc...

The first 7 were moved to a brooder last night and seem to be doing good. The last 3 Tibetan chicks were hatched overnight and still in the incubator until tonight at least.

Is there anything I can do to help the last 16 along?
