HELP! FIRST TIME HATCHING AND DON'T KNOW HOW OLD EGGS ARE!
One of the ducklings hatched yesterday and is doing great!! I'm so happy about that. The other egg in the incubator has not moved since early Saturday (it had been rocking around like crazy before then). I just ended up candling the egg and I couldn't see any movement. I can't tell... -
DUCKS -- HELP!
The duckling that hatched is doing great! I'm so happy about that. The other egg in the incubator has not moved since early Saturday. I just ended up candling the egg and I couldn't see any movement. The air sac is also lopsided. I'm not sure what to do. Is this duckling definitely dead? -

One of the ducklings has hatched! Was so exciting to watch. The other egg hasn't moved since yesterday (hasn't pipped yet). Should I be concerned? -

Woke up this morning to find one of the eggs has pipped!! -

Congrats on the hatch! That's so exciting. My eggs have not pipped externally yet. Just occasionally rocking in the incubator. -

That's the problem. I'm not exactly sure. My Rouen duck was sitting on a nest and long story short, I needed to remove the eggs. I candled them up until what I thought was 24 (judging by Metzers website). After candling them that night they started rocking. So I went into lockdown immediately... -

DUCKS -- HELP!
I have 2 Rouen duck eggs in a still air incubator. They began rocking on Tuesday night, so per the advice of some experienced duck hatchers, I immediately went into lockdown. Temperature is about 99 degrees, relative humidity is around 75. Today is Saturday and they're still rocking. Do I... -

The eggs have been rocking since Tuesday but no external pip. Is that normal? -

I have a still air styrofoam incubator. Temp should go down to 98.5 degrees, correct? -

Thank you for all the "welcomes"! So 2 of my eggs were definitely quitters. Had to toss them last night. No movement, no veins, and they were starting to smell. The good news is, I just candled the 2 remaining eggs and after I put the cover back on both eggs started shaking! Do I go into...- jmarissa

I'm sorry to hear that! Great that all 15 survived though! I just candled my eggs and can't believe how much they've progressed in 2 days. I can hardly see anything anymore, other than the black mass of an embryo (all but 1 was moving around), a few subtly veins and a huge air cell. I... -

Thank you for the advice! That makes me feel better. For whatever it's worth, here are 2 picture of the air cell. Not great, but it's all I have right now (they're still shots from a video I took) . -

I've been referring to Metzer's website for the last week but I'm having a hard time deciding whether these eggs look like day 22 or 24. What would be your guess?
