Help unhatched

Thank you for responding! I am so nervous after our last experience. when should I get concerned? Today is day 29. These all had movement and life when I candled them on Day 25 and went in to lockdown mode.
 
3 are tapping and two tweeting now!! How long do I leave them before I intervene? Also does anyone know about the yellow staining appearing on the shell around the air sac?

Can you get a pic of the stain??
Barring a problem with that stain, you could be waiting another 24 hours before an external pip. Patience! Please don't rush them out. It takes time to absorb the yolk, which is what they are doing at this stage. You do not want them out of that shell before that part is done.
Hang in there!

And they won't run out of oxygen in the air sac?? Thanks so much!!!

Anything is possible, but under normal circumstances, no. That's what they do. They breathe the air cell air first, then they pip and break the shell for outside air. Then it can be another 24-48 hours after that, before they start to zip!
