Do you mean it has internally pipped? If so that is fine shouldnt be an issue. I have 20 eggs right now on day 25 and 9 have internally pipped on my last candle tonight.

I can't tell if it's from internal pip.  : /

 

I'm new to this.

Ok, I'm going to assume you are candling them? If not, describe what you mean by the air cell is broken.

Okay after 16 hrs of worrying the egg with air sac broken has a 1/4" hole on the side.  All fingers crossed hope everything goes well.

Oh I'm soo worried.  How long will it take for the duckling to continue coming out after making a small hole?

Hi Gyoza. I just hatched my Pekins. They came out within 3-4 hours once a hole is there. Although mine came from free-range Pekins, one had a hole for 32 hours before I helped it out... and it came out a Mallard. (Someone wild flew in and took advantage of one of the girls!) They tend to hatch in the morning, so be patient and just be sure your temp and humidity are up and staedy. Good luck. smile.png
Pekins and goslings due early May 2012. I will start posting pics on this thread when they start hatching. Pekins should start Sat. May 5th & goslings on the 12th.
My intro can be seen @ "Can a duck lady be on here?" I now have a flock consisting of 1 M Pekin "Psycho", 1M Pekin/Mallard mix "Big Bird", 1 M Blue Swedish "?", 1 F Runner "?", 1 F Crested"?" & of course, my 1 F Chinese mix "Goose"!
