Try and dampen the eggs with a piece of damp paper towel. That might help a bit. I had a similar problem just the other day with my 64 day egg... o.0

How many days have they been incubating for? I had a simular problem and I had to cut mine out and they were ok.

I don't know, but one collapse fully on the baby, another one turn dark yellow, and another died halfway out of shell. I don't know why.
