    I NEED HELP! Pipped but not zipped!

    One of my muscovy eggs has pipped but not zipped after 24 hrs. There is a break on the small side of egg. I can see his beak in the air sack but can't tell if he's resting. If he's moving it's only the tiniest bit. What do I do? 4 have hatched successfully. Worried about this little guy...

    Good news! I have a bouncing baby myscovy duckling! The other 4 are zipping & won't be long before hatching. My stress level has decreased dramatically!

    Muscovy eggs on Day 33! Pipping? I'm a complete novice!

    I definitely will! My stray Muscovy "Miss Tilly" is on her 3rd clutch. She took them directly to the pond and both were gone within 3 days. I snitched 6 eggs (5 remaining in the incubator). She's currently sitting on 10-15 eggs for about 18 days now. I know they won't survive. I candled...

    Muscovy eggs on Day 33! Pipping? I'm a complete novice!

    It is day 35! 3 have definitely pipped! Can see their beaks! The other 2 are making progress. Fingers crossed they all 5 make it. This is so exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. Had no clue what I was doing and thankful this forum gave me the insight to at least get to the finish...

    Muscovy eggs on Day 33! Pipping? I'm a complete novice!

    Definitely nerve wracking! I did check this morning. 1 egg is rocking (#6). The other 4 are all drawn down & can see movement but not rocking yet. Hard to see without opening the incubator.

    Muscovy eggs on Day 33! Pipping? I'm a complete novice!

    It looks like they are moving down on one side. All still have good movement this evening. I did put them in lockdown. Lowered temp to 98.5 and upped humidity to 65-70%.

    Muscovy eggs on Day 33! Pipping? I'm a complete novice!

    Today is day 33 for my 5 muscovy eggs. They are trying to pip but don't see their beak yet nor do I hear chirping. I am a COMPLETE novice and don't mind admitting it! I've made it this far and my nerves are shattered. Should I put them in lock down? All are moving. I see shadows where they...
