I have just investigated further when I removed the first one to the brooder - he was stomping all over the newer one and pecking at its face - and I see I have one more pipped the shell and another alive but not yet pipped. The other four are definitely dead in shell, no internal pips or anything. I had no idea ducklings were so big or so vocal - this one is gong to keep me awake all night! Also had no idea they were so much more interactive than baby chicks - they seem more alert and more aware of their surroundings. I'm going to have a hard time handing these little guys over to their real owners in a couple of days...
And Denninmi - these two who have hatched don't seem sticky at all - the first one fluffed up perfectly and the second one is nearly there already. The third one looks like he might require assistance but I'm going to leave him for a full day before I decide. Chances are he'll get out all by himself...
