Im just going to ask, im sure others may have the same question.....the yellow in there, is that not the yolk that will get absorbed? Im sorry, im just really confused. I thought the yellow just gradually gets smaller as the duckling grows in the egg and it gets closer to hatch. So since he... -

Ya im super bummed about it. thank you for letting me know about the snot-like blob. Im wondering if maybe my shells are too tough for them to get through?? I dont know. I bought the two crested parents together as adults. I have no idea if they may be inbred? If that could make an impact on... -

I feel like i should have assisted. He was completely developed and looked great. His yolk was almost completely absorbed. It was the size of a gumball. There was a small blob like jelly in there. Its been in all my eggs. Is that little blob of stuff normal? -

Still no change. So we are on day 3 since the internal pip. However he has had the safety hole for 36+ hours. So he is getting oxygen. His hatch date should be friday. I know it takes forever to hatch, but shouldnt i at least have an external pip by now? I feel like he should have gotten... -

Oh ok, thank goodness! The hole is maybe the size of a B.B. (like for a b.b gun). So really small. Still no changes though. :( I'm really hoping to see some progress in the morning, if not, il still be waiting lol! Either way, I'll be giving an update in the morning, thanks! -

Ok so the safety hole isnt going to hurt him as long as i leave him alone in there? -
White crested duck incubation day 27 help please...
Update: so at around 2 a.m. i did a safety hole cuz i was really worried id fall asleep and he would run out of air. I did it super super tiny. Still no change though. I can see the membrane pushing against the safety hole up and down and i hear a little peep occasionally. So i guess he is fine... -

K i moved him to the other incubator since im sure he has internally pipped. Ive heard him peep twice and he is tapping away i have the humidity between 55-60. I hope thats ok!?!? -
White crested duck incubation day 27 help please...
Whoo hoo! I hope so!!! -
White crested duck incubation day 27 help please...
I think he may have internally pipped a little. I can see something in the air cell but it sorta keeps going in and out. If i hold the egg up to my ear i can hear tapping though.
