It just means they may have had a bacterial infection or the temp was too low during incubation and they didn't develop fully before hatching. What you need to do is wrap them up in a warm, wet paper towel and place them in a protective container until the yolk fully absorbs. We call this "duck in a cup". You can read about it here:
