What does it mean...

[Sherry]

when you have an egg rocking back and forth for quite a while, then it stops? I see a tiny crack but that's it. No more movement.

I have one baby that hatched about 3 hours ago and it's tumbled and stumbled and knocked into the other eggs.

IBW is hard work.

It just got tired.

Give it time, it will hatch! Good luck! Steph

Rocking is an indication they are getting into position to pip (can see it during internal and external pipping stages). The tiny crack is the first external pip - an indication they are preparing to hatch. They rest at various stages in hatch. The time from first pip to final hatch can be anywhere from 1 hour to 36 hours. Good luck with your hatch.
