Do you still have them in the incubator?
When did they hatch?
How warm is there housing?

What I do if that happens, if there still wet I use a warm washcloth and rubs there eye SOFTLY! Careful not to tear something.
I always put about a teaspoon of vinegar in there water just to help with any stress or trama involved in hatching.

If it's meant to die..it will sadly enough.

Hope this helps..
