You probably should move them to the brooder so they quit messing with the eggs! Do you have any pictures??

its a bit dark here so hard to do pics but a third one came out and it seems a bit weak so i am keeping it in the incubator it also is smaller

one of them has a splayed leg its to small to get a rubber band around them. is this a good method

update: i fixed the splayed leg but now he has started limping. i have been taking them outside as it has been hot but i don't think he stepped on something. i didn't pick him up wrong. doesnt look like there is any swelling but he is lying down more. maybe its bumble foot. should i take him to the vet?
