hello, we incubated 9 silky chicken eggs. They were due to hatch yesterday and three did and two hatched today. The hatched chicks caused the eggs to roll around the incubator a lot so I am worried about positioning. I know I am not supposed to candle them at this stage but I am worried with the eggs being rolled so much but I saw that two eggs still have a lot of movement in them but no signs of pipping at all. My temps are good and humidity is good. Should I leave these eggs to try to hatch on their own still or should I try to help them? I will feel awful if they die in the egg but I know that can just be nature sometimes.
 
I would give them time, I've had mine hatch as early as day 19 and as late as day 25. 25 is the maximum I give for hatching.
