Egg piipping advice

Well just a quick update, the little chick doesnt look too good at the moment its rolling all over the floor and its head still looks bent downwards. The other issue is now its rolled all the other eggs into the corners , willl this effect there hatching chances?
Dont think i can go through another 24 days only to fail, its lsort of cruel to try if they are just going to die trapped in the shells.
Hopefully when i get up in the morning they have all hatched and running around but somehow i fear the worst even for little boris
Cheers
 
The other eggs getting pushed around isn't a problem at all. I had 40 quail all hatch in one hour and were knocking the other 40 eggs around. I still had a total of 72 of the 80 eggs hatch.
 
Oh and as to the hygrometer, I don't know. My friend's seems to work fairly well. He gets about a 90 percent hatch rate.
As for the turner, he only changed the motors, not the whole turner. It could be months before I talk to him again because he shipped out over seas.
 
Another update
Left home to take my son to work this morning and one of eggs was still at the same stage as yesterday and i thought it was stuck . 20 mins later when i got home it had hatched all on its own and looks lovely.
There are a couple more with little chips in the egg so hopefully there may be more going to hatch .
Why is it though one was like proper glued to the egg even its head was glued to its wing when the other hatched out 100% on its own and perfect.
Cheers
