She's about 2 years old, egg was pretty typical size, possibly a tad smaller than the others she's laid. I thought from the start I had a double yolk in there....but didn't think much of it once baby was developing normally. Thank you for your replies! We have 4 new eggs we will attempt to...

Update...no movement still, decided baby was definitely dead. I did "hatch" it myself and baby was upside down in the egg and looks to have 2 yolks....?!

Thank you! I'll keep a close eye on it and add another water dish!

I'm certain the temp is correct. What's the best way to upp humidity? I have a dish of water in there as well as reservoirs full. I'm on day 29 today.

99.5 temp....humidity on bator says 20% but it's always been off....prior tests state when it says 20% it's actually about 40%. I've hatched 3 or 4 other times in this bator and they've always been fine. I didn't see movement, but I assumed maybe he's resting? There was definitely movement...

This is what i see when I removed dead baby and candled the 2nd egg....I can't hear peeping

Absolutely. I have mom and dad in the coop...but mama is not good with sitting. How can I be completely sure baby internally pipped?

I will be left with 1 duckling. We started with 5, and 2 were viable up until hatch day...now just 1. Should I make a safety hole for it? Recandle?

Update: Baby was not alive 😓 I still have 1 egg I candled and showed movement....I think internally pipped...am I safe to go ahead and remove dead baby?

No movement or chirping. I opened the membrane up a tiny bit for him, and I'm pretty certain he didn't make it

One of our duckling externally pipped early this AM. It was chirping and attempting to come out around 9:15 am, but we came home from church and he hasn't chirped or moved since. Is he shrink wrapped? Do I need to assist at this point? His little beak is out of the shell just past his egg...

Well the little wild thing made it!! Almost 2 full days of watching it work so hard to get out of that shell and it was worth the wait! Little sweetie loved listening to me cheer it on and did some big moves when I did!

Oops I thought I attached a video LOL! Not sure why it won't attached! Here are a couple screenshots of the wiggle worm!!

I stuck the 12 or so eggs I had on the counter in the incubator just to see as I can't stomach the duck eggs...the 1 and only little to make it! It's so beautiful to see!

Here's a couple of it standing

Can anyone help on identifying this baby? It was the only one at the farm store and they said it was Americauna, but I'm second guessing that...it almost looks like a quail! It even has an interesting chirp that sounds almost like a cricut!

Thank you all! I'll come back here in a few days and update you!

Should I up the temp now, or am I to late for that? Wait and see?

I took a video and I swear I see movement, but I might just be hopeful. I don't hear any peeping.
