Turtle girl 98

Okay so I'm new here. And new to hatching babies. I have some box turtle eggs and they are 62 days into incubation. About 4days ago they started to get pencil lead size holes on the ends of the eggs and and some of the other eggs have began to flake away at the ends. Others have small cracks that flake away to. And one had a slit in the side with clear goo oozing from it. Not a very big slit either. The babies are active and definitely big while candling. I can see everything down to claws. I'm very nervous that something is wrong with the eggs? Other wise I thought maybe pipping? But in 4 days they haven't progressed at all if that's the case. Not sure how long they take from pip to hatch. Not even sure what a pip looks like. Lol if someone could give me a little insight id be thankful. Just want some people's opinions on what could be going on. Otherwise just wait and see
