Several made little holes but been like that for half the night. Should I crack it more for them or just leave alone?
 
Chicks sometimes take long time to hatch and interfering too early can be fatal, so it's best to leave them to it and only help when needed. And the best way to judge that is too leave them as long as possible. On average a chick will hatch roughly 10-12 hours after external pip, though some are much quicker and some longer. If 24 hours after pipping they haven't made any progress, you can investigate and see if they need a little help. Good luck with the hatch!
 
Thanks what if where they had a hole started rolled over an it was on bottom against bator screen. I rolled it back up after noticing. An there was liquid coming out a lil. Not movin anymore hope didn't drown
