I wouldn't wash anyone unless all the eggs are hatched.

And if you wash them, just use a damp paper towel or something. Don't put them under running water or anything like that.

It sounds like something is up with your humidity, but i haven't had this particular problem personally, so i can't say for sure what might have caused this.

never heard anything like this before, but sounds like you had a problem with humidity.
i would try to seperate them with a warm wet Q-tip and put them back in the incubator or under a warming lamp
if you open the incubator, be sure to spray some warm water inside to keep the humidity up for the others wich are still hatching
