    Khalil Campbell's yet to hatch!

    I went to check on the little guy and see if he was dry and ready to move and found that he passed away. :/ Maybe a mix of being in the egg for so long and stress caused this. I feel like I did something wrong! :(

    Should there be a long piece of pink tissue hanging from it? I'm worried it's going to get infected... is there something I can do do? I'm. going to transfer to brooder in the morning.

    I'm not using a thermometer or hygrometer that's attached to the incubator. Both have been accurate when we tested before the incubation process... but it very well could be inaccurate ! I think I might have counted the first day wrong, so the hatch date would have been Monday. I canceled them...

    Yesterday at 11:34 PM Emilie17New Egg Hey everyone! I am quite new to hatching ducklings. I have 2 out of 6 eggs in the incubator that seem to still be alive... the 28 day mark was on Sunday (5/28), but there doesn't seem to be any sign of the hatching process. The temp has consistently been...
