    Have two abandoned mallard eggs in my incubator one pipped and zipped 11 hours after pipping on the 29th day. On the 30th day , 2nd egg pipped no zipp

    Everyone in NORCO, CA (farming town) insists that i do not assist this duckling- nor open the incubator. Humidity is at 77% temp is 37.8 celcius same as first duckling that hatched. How long do i wait for him to pop before i attempt to assist :-( Im so sad.

    Does this chick need help hatching?

    I have one that pipped 24 hrs ago as well… everyone is telling me to NOT open the incubator for any reason- how many days need to pass before i know if it will make it after two teenie holes? 77% humidity 37.8 Celcius On day 30 now first duckling came out at 29 days after 11 hours of pipping
