HELP!zipping question???? They're Hatching

[Mourningdove]

I have 7 silkies in the bator and 4 of them have already started trying to break free.....NONE of them have actually broke open a hole to begin zipping.......my question is 2 of the 4 seem to be trying to zip in all directions and 1 of them seems to be trying to zip downwards has anyone seen this before? Will this be ok?

Yeah I have seen this before. Don't worry, as long as they are not at the bottom of the egg(opposite end)where it might not be able to breathe. Just watch and see what happens.

Sometimes they get a little confused and as long as they aren't on the bottom they should be fine. Remember Mother nature takes care of all.

They are fine.

There are some things that you should not watch. I mean a kettle takes longer to boil if you watch.... I think everything will be OK, but if I was there watching with you, the only thing we could really do is WORRY!
