X2 on Bantamlover21- if you're not seeing breathing/movement, the duckling is unfortunately probably dead. But, it's good new that all the other eggs have pipped! I hope you get some more ducklings, even if you lose this one!

I agree with Bantamlover21; at this point, it comes down to personal choice. I, too, would be more likely to help them out than to leave them. Some people say you shouldn't help a chick out because if it can't get out on its own, it is probably naturally weak and won't live. This may be true...

They might take a little longer and need more encouragement to start eating/drinking. You may want to add electrolytes or sugar to the water for extra energy. You can also give some raw egg yolk by eyedropper if they don't eat on their own.

Well, good luck with the hatch! They may just be taking their time. Be prepared that, if they do hatch late, they may be a bit weaker and might need some extra care for the first few days.

So, you set the eggs in the incubator 28 days ago? When you candle them, do you see any movement? Its still possible that they may hatch. I'd give them a couple more days.
