Matt,

They were just not healthy eggs, they might have been scrambled in shipping, that is what happened to me. You need to find someone who packages eggs really good. Because what you are describing happen EXACTLY the same way to me.

I've had hatches where they pipped a hole through and I could see them trying to continue it around the cap, but they never make it. I used to try and help them out, but they never survived when I did. I make sure the humidity is in the proper range so they don't "dry to the shell" but they don't even get out of the shell.  It's heartbreaking because you can hear them chirping...
I also be sure to give them extra days to get out of the shell. But sometimes its just not meant to be.

Hang in there and keep trying.

John

P.S. Chris is OK too.  In fact, ALL of you are swell! How's that for a Beaver Cleaver moment!?
