    My duck egg hasn’t internally pipped yet

    I read that if it hasn’t pipped and you break the air cell to see the membrane you can feel it and possibly guess what position it’s in, you can keep it moist with water but I would have rather got my duckling out and if it did die at least I tried to save it, I think I feel worse because I...

    My duck egg hasn’t internally pipped yet

    This is what I struggled with, it’s the not knowing that’s so worrying! If I had gone with my instincts and assisted with the hatch that night my duckling would have been here. I left mine to late unfortunately so My only advise is to go with your instincts, if you do assist with the hatch read...

    My duck egg hasn’t internally pipped yet

    HI there, sorry to hear that your having the same trouble as me! It’s very stressful not knowing what to do so first step don’t panic. What day is your duck egg on?

    My duck egg hasn’t internally pipped yet

    It looks like a detached membrane when I have googled it but I didn’t think this could happen when my duckling is definitely around day 28,

    My duck egg hasn’t internally pipped yet

    Hi again, I have just candles my egg to see it’s progress and the air sack has actually gone into where my duck is, it’s hard to explain really, it’s like the air sack has extended and filled part of where my duckling is laying in the egg! It’s still alive! What should I do? Please help

    My duck egg hasn’t internally pipped yet

    thank you for your reply, our incubator doesn’t have a humidity gauge but it has two tubes that we have filled with water to boost the humidity for hatching, it worked last time so we just did it the same as our last hatch. We counted the days she was sat on them as best as we could but can’t...
