    Will a duck raised without other ducks ever know it’s a duck if introduced?

    Will a duck that was raised only with human companions ever know it is a duck if it is introduced to them?

    Got the membrane unstuck and she was ready to come out immediately! Peeping a lot now and in the incubator to dry. What temperature and humidity should it be now? Meet Peggy!

    Chewing seems to be fine now. Just removed more shell, was out for a minute while we tried to help her. Humidity is back at 75 now. She was peeping a lot while we had her out but quiet now. Don’t want to take her all the way out incase she isn’t ready but just trying to help her get her foot out...

    It appears her foot is positioned above her head, is this a position she will be able to push out of?

    Sounds good. It has been 48 hours since we noticed the internal pip now. What are some signs of distress I should keep an eye out for?

    Thank you! It is 9pm where I am now, you think she will hatch soon? If she does not make progress in a few hours is there anything more I should do?

    Sounds good. Still some chewing and occasional peeping, sticking her bill out the hole more than in the photo before. There wasn’t been any movement to come out of the egg yet though. I am hoping I didn’t make the membrane too sticky where I moistened it a bit earlier.

    Should the temperature be any lower at this time?

    Moving it in and out through the hole and some chewing motions. Not much peeping, he did a little bit before we opened the shell more. Does it look like he still has blood to absorb in the veins in the photo?

    Opened up the hole a bit, his beak is right there, membrane was white so we moistened it a bit, but can see at the top where it seems a bit dry. Stopped here and put him back in the incubator.
