Im not to sure what u mean...they have their heads up, and nearly falling over backwards?
We saw this when had CCTV in a nesting box a few yrs back. sometimes falling over, then very clumsy roll over and wiggle back up over the remaining infertile eggs...
Have u left the remaining infertile eggs in the nest box?
We and several others have a theory that not all eggs are meant to hatch... they allow the very young chicks form a pyramid around them for feeding....and act as hot water bottles for any short periods the hen may leave the nest

Cheers
