Just have Patience, your temps and humidity could have been low during incubation and that will slow the hatching down. You will see a pip (small hole) being developed by the chick, he will rest, learning to breathe in air and finish absorbing his yolk sac before he zips his way around the shell. This can take 24 hours and longer. I've had chicks hatch out as late as day 25.

im no expert but give them 3 more days after day 23 and than shake one and see if it rattles or feals light if so than its all dried out

Give them some time..low temps or Humdity can cause slow hatching. Atleast wait till day 26! I made the mistake not waiting and killed 2 live chicks. So plz just wait!
