I have my first external pip for my ducklings! It pipped last night at 10pm, it is now 2:30pm. Unfortunately I can’t tell if the membrane was pierced. Little one is still wiggling around but no pushing against the shell. So still absorbing the yolk. But when do I get worried and make sure the membrane is pierced? Internal pip was about 36 hours ago or so.
I still haven’t heard any cheeping yet which I’m sad about but I have been talking to my eggs all day! I even played a video of ducklings cheeping to help encourage them. None of the other eggs have popped yet but it’s only day 26 so this one is an early bird. Luckily I locked them down on day 23. Just raised humidity last night however. I’m currently in the process of setting up the brooder! Super excited to see my cuties!
