You want to go in there and open the bator and pull 'em out.

No I tapped then heard chirping used the back of my tweezers to smack the shell then slowly and carefully picked the shell away not to break any membrains found out where the beak was and opened just enough for them to breath...Then I put them back in the bator..

ETA: I couldn't find my tweezers, so just used a sharp little knife.

1. Tapped on the bator
2. Heard chirping
3. Tapped on shell with tweezers
4. Picked up egg
5. carefully picked away shell (no membrains)
6. ensure beak is out to breathe
7. return to bator.
