Chick egg is moving rapidly after pipping, but no chirping or pecking.

I have one chick that is hatching really early. (Found out the the egg was pipped whilst putting in sponges for lock down) So the incubator was open quite a bit, as I was doing day 18 candling to make sure all was well when I saw it, so I replaced the incubator lid. It continued to chirp and shake. Now the chirps died down, but it seems to shake more. Is this okay? I added some water through the vent holes to make sure humidity was up. I heard sometimes early chicks "wait" for the others to start. Is that true?

UPDATE: I just checked on it again. I saw that is was moving most of the time, but it's little small shakes. I also heard a little cheep.

Now there is no shaking or chirping.

Sometime they start too early and dont make it. I have had no luck with helping early ones out of the egg so let it be. It can be up to a day after pip that they actually hatch out. I have 5 eggs that Im waiting on right now. They have all internally pipped on one external. I have such a hard time not rushing them. Im putting the bator in the cellar next time. Out of sight out of mind right???

So what happened???? Did any make it????

Two did. Wolf and Charlie. I still have one egg that was added later that could make it, but I have my doubts. They are happy and healthy in the brooder. The egg in question for which the thread was made for was Charlie. That's him in my avatar.
