Help!
These crazy blue beauties just love to mess up my timelines! First, she lays eggs when they're still locking. Now the eggs are hatching 3 days before the earliest possible hatch date any person, book, or fact sheet suggested.

Sooooo...
1) How long is it going to take the little ones to come out of their shells after they first stick their noses out?
--if they keep sticking their noses out, then crawling back in, are they in any danger? should I try to hurry the process in any way (currently I'm assuming not)

2) How long between the time the first one hatches and the last before I start to get concerned? (keeping in mind that the eggs are hatching early to start with)

3) Do the new hatclings need any special care...ie are their requirements different than the parents?

Anything else I need to be aware of???

thanks,
a very nervous kris
