okay, so sometimes that is normal? it is moving around a lot. so maybe it's just part of the process?

hello, my duck has pipped and knocked some of it's shell off but i don't see a beak. it's just like a grey looking surface. it is still moving around a lot in the egg and trying to break through. should i be helping or letting it do it's thing? thanks.

I'm just adding water every time i see that it is low.

hello, im hatching six ducks eggs and the humidity level keeps getting low and especially today since it's hot. im on day 18 and hoping this won't hurt them. anyone have experience with humidity level dropping and the eggs still hatching? thanks. :fl

none of them made it @WVduckchick

well, they moved a few days ago so i know they *were* fertilized. i also looked at them again and the egg was changing colour. i'll just have to try again. thank you

thank you! i will do that! @bydhatch

they are duck eggs... yeah, I'm not sure what happened. There was one rotten one in there at one point. I only had six from the start.

is this not alive? day 29 and I don't see anything moving. :( my whole batch was bad if that's the case.

I didn't see fluid but the air cells looked drawn down to me. Kinda like that pic you sent me before!

day 28 with my cayuga eggs. i didn't see any internal pips, the only things i've seen in the last few days was one egg wobbling just a tiny bit when i would talk to it... i decided to quickly candle them since it was when i thought they should have hatched. i didn't see any pips or movement when...

I just candled them and didn't see movement... I don't know if they aren't going to hatch now or to still have hope.

@bydhatch thank you! they haven't, can't even see a internal pip. so when i candle, what should i be looking for this time? and set them on the washcloth when candling you mean> thanks!

@WVduckchick @abidaby you don't think it would ruin them to candle them since they are on lockdown?
