I will get more tomorrow, but here's a couple! Adorable if I do say so myself!

I think our hatching is complete now! 14 in total out of the 18. Two pipped at the wrong end but still hatched totally fine on their own. One I think internally pipped and didn't get any farther without me realizing it in time and sadly didn't make it, and the other 3 seemed to have quit a...

Here is a picture of duckling #1 if anyone wants to see it! ❤️

Ok, good to hear! Thank you!

After searching again on here, maybe it's not the yolk? It's grayish goo looking and at the end of the cord.

@New duck mommy 2021 First baby hatched perfectly this morning. Second one just hatched about 15 minutes ago but it appears as if it still has the yolk and umbilical cord attached and exposed. The first baby is walking over it. A quick search shows some people suggesting putting the baby in a...

There's 12 more eggs in there, but I'm 90% sure that 3 of them quit right before lockdown. I left them in just in case.

Day 27 - Six have now externally pipped from last night through today so far. Humidity was dropping this morning to 59% so I added a little bit of water to where it was at 64% and now it has randomly quickly gone up to 67% out of the blue this afternoon. There's a roughly silver dollar size area...

Day 26 Update - A couple of definite internal pips this morning, I can hear a couple of them peeping! A couple seem just slightly behind air cell size wise still, but I went ahead and started to increase humidity and am at 60% now. Anything I should do differently?

I was doing a quick check of the eggs late last night and I saw one egg where it looked like there was some slight pushing against the air cell. Almost like a little flutter motion that just barely made the line of the air cell bend a bit is the best way I can describe it. And several eggs have...

Ok, thank you so much! That makes me feel better.

Just saw these replies! I went ahead and kept everything the same for today and just candled a couple that I saw moving the most. Here is a picture, I couldn't see much of anything with the light held at the bottom/pointy end so I tried a few different angles. Some of the eggs' air cells are...

Will do! 🙂

Ok, thank you! I guess I will keep an eye on them until tomorrow then.

Hello, I saw the post about the call ducks hatching earlier than what the person thought, but I wanted to see what anyone thinks I should do with my Rouen eggs. This is my first time hatching, a whirlwind decision I made after a fox got 3 of my 5 ducks a few weeks ago. So I took all of the eggs...
