    Baby chick can't stand up anymore

    It's actually not my chick but my neigbours, I took care of it while they're away. I brought it to my home because I have a chicken box with heathing lamp. The mother and other two baby chicks are totally fine so I don't think it's coccidiosis, since that's very contagious. But I did notice just...

    How long after eggs start wiggling do they pip? Need advice!

    @clousert i didn't mean to make the hole that large i accidently chipped of a bigger piece of shell then intended. However i'm now making sure to keep it moist and leave the duckling alone as much as possible so it can take it's time. I feel really bad for making a hole but i really really...

    I decided to make a small hole and this is what it looks like on the inside, i can't see a beak or anything even though he's definitely internally pipped and i heard a few pecks.

    How long after eggs start wiggling do they pip? Need advice!

    @clousert i have another question if that's okay? Yesterday morning i thought the first egg had internally pipped. I saw a little bit dark movement on the edge of the air pocket but i didn't see a beak or hear peeping. Today 3 eggs have even more dark shadows in the air pocket, but there still...

    How long after eggs start wiggling do they pip? Need advice!

    I'll just keep an close eye on them, the moment the first one pips i'll keep an eye on the clock to make sure they don't take 50 or more hours to externally pip so they don't run out of oxygen. I'll also try to keep the humidity between 60-65%. The eggs are still wiggling a bit from time to time...

    Well call ducks are a small breed of ducks so they take about 25-26 days to hatch i've read. That could definitely explain the wiggling and rocking, but is the eggs moving a sign they are getting ready to hatch?
