I havn't done this in a while so tell me which end of the egg should they pip from ( ducks) I have just stopped turning the eggs today the 26th day and one is pipping but at the small end of the egg, I also am concerned that it is pipping early is this normal?
I stopped turning eggs last night today is the 26th day one is pipping ON THE POINTED END! They arn't supposed to do that are they? Plus it's too early. This is a green egg so it is a runner duck egg has anyone had this experience with them hatching early or pipping on the wrong end?
Ok my eggs are due to hatch friday it's their 28th day I am reading some weird stuff on here about ppl cooling eggs down 15 minutes a day is that just for geese or ducks too? What should my humidity level be is it 80% ? Do I need to do anything else after day 25 or just leave them alone ?
