Hatched Chicks are moving Unhatched Eggs - is there a better way?

[PEI chicken]

Hi all

I am wondering if anyone has a solution to this same issue.

10 eggs were placed in incubator. 5 hatched yesterday and the chicks are moving the unhatched eggs inside the incubator (vigorously moved - they are now rolled to the side of the incubator). I think the issue is -- if the eggs are moved, they will find it hard to hatch, if not impossible. Does anyone have a solution to this? I plan to set more eggs soon. Help please.

Incubator is small tabletop round styrofoam incubator.

Thank you.

If you don't have any pipped eggs you can remove the hatched chicks. But be quick, so you don't lose too much humidity in the bator. A wet sponge in there will help get the humidity up again quick if it does drop too much though.
