    Then we went to get an oil change and 2 more hatched! Now, 5 was a bit crowded so they've been moved to the brooder. One remains... but yes- the incubator got real small, real fast, lol.

    Closed membrane

    This duck egg pipped this morning- should I poke a hole in the membrane? I’ve put coconut oil on it to try and keep it moist and my humidity is at 65-70%. I don’t know why my membranes are drying out!

    Well, what do you all think? It just pipped a few hours ago?

    Woke up to all 6 of our duck eggs pipped! They are all making progress but I did notice one egg membrane turning a soft yellow. It's been a while since I have hatched... but this egg just pipped overnight, so I am not sure of the coloring and why. I know it is hard to tell in the picture but I'd...

    FINALLY! We've got 3 pips this morning and (hopefully) 3 more to go! You guys weren't kidding when you said ducklings take their time. Whew! Hopefully I will have some cute fuzzies to share with y'all in the next day or so!

    Well, I went back and tried to calculate when I actually set my eggs, and either Sunday or Monday- yesterday- would have been day 28. We still have no pips and no movement, although last night I played duckling sounds and one egg rocked a little. I just candled all of them and I think I see...

    Some ducks :) it is my first time hatching ducks and I know hatching times can vary between breeds, but I'm hatching Khaki Campbells which I thought were more "normal" in terms of hatching around day 28. I will try to be more patient!

    Day 29... and no action. I am able to candle one egg towards the outside of my incubator and the air cell has dipped down significantly since lockdown. But no peeps, no rolling, no pips, no nothing! 😭

    Well we've made it to day 27! I've still got 6/6 khaki campbells going strong and in lockdown. Hatching Mother's Day! I actually did not plan that at all! No pips or rolling eggs... fingers crossed for a great hatch!

    My husband walked into the house earlier this month after work... DH: What's that noise? Is that the incubator? Are you hatching eggs? Me: :confused: DH: Those eggs are really big. Me: They are duck eggs. DH: But we have chickens? Me: :confused: DH: Why did you even think we needed...

    Howdy everyone! I've got 6 Khaki Campbells in my incubator, set to hatch on Mother's Day :love I was actually out to pick up some chicken eggs (we have a small flock of 5 hens) and by a misunderstanding I ended up with duck eggs, haha! It was quite the surprise when I got home and opened the...
