Day 29 one duck hatched day 26--still see movement in eggs but no pipping!

I would love to hear more about what you did because you were obviously much more successful than I was! Although I had Indian Runners...

@WVduckchick the loner is still doing okay. Still awfully skittish, but he goes to live with the other ducklings tomorrow, so I hope that will be really good!

Unfortunately I got news this morning that it had died
They put it right in with the new ducklings and they all seemed to be doing fine. Then yesterday the loner started seeming tired and not walking well, they said it would walk a few steps then seem tired and sit down. They tried extra niacin and even molasses to get it to eat, but it ended up dying this morning.
Any idea what might have happened? I’m feeling really bummed because it was doing just fine with me, so I feel like maybe I made the wrong decision.

I'm so sorry. After all you had been thru. You did all anyone could for the little

@seberger22 Oh dear, I'm so sorry. Occasionally they will just fail to thrive. You did all you could, and then some!

Calls generally hatch on day 26. But they can be quite challenging to hatch. Usually the smaller lines, with the super short and stubby bills can have a harder time hatching on their own. Do you know if yours are closer to show quality or pet quality?
I would candle them and look for movement, drawdown, and internal pips.
