    Duckling hatching question!

    I had six eggs in the incubator. I had two hatch at the end of the day, and one that was acting distressed and looked weird in the egg, it was really sticky and it was also in a weird position. I waited it out until about 6 and then started to help it out. Got it out and it didnt look good...

    Duckling hatching question!

    Thank you both, it just seems like its taking forever:) Probably because I have kiddos that are asking me about them every few moments! We had a successful chicken hatch with so far 5 out of 7. Ducks were actually due tomorrow but pipped yesterday. This part is soooo hard.

    HELP! Their coming!

    Also I apologize if my answers are short, I am a pre-k teacher and I have 20 4 and 5 year olds around me as we hope they come today! How long should I expect after they pip? I hear the occasional peep, but my room is loud so thats why I cant hear them as much. Aimee

    Ok...I will keep up the moisture...oh the waiting is so hard! My class is 4 and 5 year olds and I am pretty sure that they believe that they will hatch tomorrow, even though I have told them that it could take longer. We have studied the life cycle and they know how long it is supposed to...
