    Duckling hatching help

    Thank you! He eventually hatched a few hours ago! Phew! It was about a 55/56 hour hatch!!! Now I have one who pipped on the wrong end about 36 hours ago. Should I assist?

    Thank you! The inner membrane is whiter and than it looks in the picture from being dried out. I just moistened it w a wet q-tip and put it back in. I’ll keep watching. It’s going to be a long night. :)

    Hi all- So I’m hatching duck eggs and this one popped externally yesterday morning (so over 36 hours ago). There was a mix up w lay date so we thought he was at about 20 days but turns out he’s closer to 28. I’ve helped him up to this point as there had been no progress. I think he’s shrink...
