HELP!! day 17.5 in bator and still moving but not very big???

[raimnel]

That says it all, I'm at day 17.75 (8hours till the offical 18th day) and I got 2 brahma eggs in the bator that the chick is very small in yet, the other 3 are almost completly full but these 2 I almost dumped cause they looked weird then in looking at them again and again I noticed that they moved on their own, not just something floating in there it really moved. will they just take a bit longer or will they just die and haven't gotten the memo yet? locking down in the am and just would like some other thoughts
thanks
Amy

The will probably just take a little longer, like maybe they were near the incubator fan and had a draft? I just had chicks hatch on day 24 and my temps were perfect as far as I know. They may surprise you.

Oh I hope I hope Thank you

I hope so too. I was getting ready to toss the eggs out, I thought I was going to have 0 hatch, but candled first and one egg started cheeping, and the others were moveing so I closed it up fast.
