    You have to be very careful when helping any bird leave its shell as if you rip the membrane you can cause serious problems to the chicks.

    What you can do is gently chip the shell and see how they get on it can take 24hours for birds to hatch out of there shell some abit longer.

    Was there enough moisture in the brooder or nest.
