    Hi!!! Exciting times in Grade 1/2...we have 8 hatched so far (2 that I had to assist but only minorly) and we’ve only just arrived at Day 35 today. 3 more have pipped and a bunch of others are rolling. So far so good! (Considering how HORRIFIED I was to hatch Muscovies after all the zillion...

    Day 29 one duck hatched day 26--still see movement in eggs but no pipping!

    UPDATE: I was just at the school and there is an external pip!! (Day 31) I quickly added water, turned down the temp and unplugged the Turner. And now I wait! Hopefully the other 25 will be ok locked down a day early.

    Day 29 one duck hatched day 26--still see movement in eggs but no pipping!

    THANK YOU!!! So as soon as I see one internally pip, boost the humidity and lock down?? The other 25 eggs will be ok? And also, will it be clear once the beak breaks the membrane? I’m pretty sure today I saw the beaks pressing the membrane, but none had broken yet.

    Day 29 one duck hatched day 26--still see movement in eggs but no pipping!

    This pic is VERY helpful to me as I’m hatching Muscovies in my classroom and when I candled them today (day 30) I panicked when I saw this! Now I know it’s normal!

    A Chicken Amidst The Ducks???

    Just letting you know that it WAS in fact a chicken. I decided to take a chance and move it into a Hatcher on Day 20 and on Day 22, ‘Oreo’ was born. The Muscovies are just coming to the end of Day 30...

    A Chicken Amidst The Ducks???

    I was thinking I should move that egg into another incubator maybe? And should I stop turning it?

    A Chicken Amidst The Ducks???

    Hello Everyone! I’m a teacher (and brand new on here). I’ve been reading and re-reading several of your posts looking for the answer to my problem...my class and I are on day 17 of incubating 30 Muscovy duck eggs.
