Day 27 egg discoloration

Looks like a pip for sure. Why would you want to mess with it?

Because I’m a nervous Nellie on day 29.

We're on day 25 with internal pips and mine are under a duck. I am a nervous Nellie too.
Since yours has an external pip best thing to do now is sit on your hands. lol

They can sure drive us nuts huh?

Thanks, I forgot how nerve racking hatching duckling is! I prefer hatching chickens for a friend where I have no stake in the outcome.

Time and ducklings go so slow!

It’s been 3 yrs for me and I forgot how nerve wracking it is. I understand how nervous you must be since you’ve already lost some, I sure hope these hatch fine for you. I’ve always wanted hookbills

Thank you, me too. The lady I got the eggs from was so nice. My biggest fear is only getting one to hatch and having to find it a friend.

Just remember they can take 24-48 hours to hatch after external pip
So yes more waiting
As long as baby has air I don’t worry anymore

If you only end up with one just be sure to put a mirror and stuffed animal in with it and it will do fine. I had to do that for one of my ducklings and when it was old enough to move outside into a look but don't touch pen with the other ducks it knew it was a duck and the transition to be with them went really well.

He ran out of air is my guess
Internal to long with no external

That happened to one of my baby quail a few weeks ago I candled it and saw that he was struggling, but I sat on my hands. When I finally decided to take action the poor baby was already dead. I know it was just one, but I still felt really really bad.
