Went on lockdown yesterday morning. This morning I noticed a few pieces of shell laying on the liner inside the incubator. We watched the duckling moving around and the hole got bigger and bigger. Peeping louder and louder. Then nothing. I waited about half an hour and picked up the egg and the duckling was dead. This was very frustrating and saddening. The temp had been about 98, humidity kept about 70. I'm thinking he suffocated. I guess I should have helped him but everything I had read said to leave it alone. Now I have another with a few pieces of shell broken off and the membrane is showing but intact. I see nothing going on with this one. I'm just feeling a bit lost.
