I'm no expert, but I have heard of people making a small hole into the air pocket to look in and see if there is movement or if they can see if they are shrink wrapped. No chirping or anything? Hopefully someone might have some better advice for you. I'm sorry. :(

Thank you!!! They are in heir new tote! Well until they get too big. Probably next week! Walmart was out of the small kiddie pools?!?!

Awww! Cute. I hope the other guys get strong quick!! :D

Well the last little duck has struggled, but he looks good today. Last night I was a little worried that he still wouldn't make it, but this morning he is looking much better. He looks to have splayed leg last night. He was pushing himself around on his tummy. I was prepared to bind his legs...

Are they due today? My last duck egg had no movement either, and it was alive in there. I was super surprised. Do give up hope yet!

These are my first ducks. They will live at my father-in-laws' house on four acres when they are bigger. We are building the duck house and pen this weekend. The duck section has lots of info too! But I'm new to all of ths as well. I've been reading everything I can find. :D

Thank you!!! You were part of this hatch!! lol The third duckling is trying to get on his feet now. Thank goodness!! :D

Cute picture. :D

They are all three out. All had to be assisted. That was NOT easy. Lol I was a wreck last night thinking I was going to lose one. The third one is still in the incubator resting. He was finally free this morning. He is very very tired. I'm still waiting to see if he makes it, but he looks good...

Draigathar was such a huge help!!! I have two ducklings in the brooder and one still in the incubator. :D It's been a rough night and I'm sure I'll have trouble sleeping knowing the third is still waiting. :(

Thank you so much for helping. Feel free to give any advice on ustream as well. But I think you are right. I'll have to help the other two as well.

65, but it will jump back up to 70ish real quick. I added warm wet paper towels too.

I was thinking the same thing, but they look shrink wrapped. This looks like it is going to. Be a long night. :(

It does look shrink wrapped. I pulled more away from the area above the head. He is fighting now.

They pipped this morning. When I realized that the first one might be shrink wrapped, I broke a hole in the membrane for them to breath. The one in the front is the one backwards. The part above the head had a little blood. I got scared and stopped. I will try again in a little bit. But to me I...

I think they might be shrink wrapped. :( Any advice would be appreciated. I have taken off as much as I'm comfortable doing right now. They don't seem to be 'fighting' to get out. I'm thinking maybe they aren't ready??

Ok. I can see his little beak in the hole. He is still doing good. No blood and no large veins that I could see, but I didn't want to tear it too much. I made sure there was a big enough hole for him to breath. I'll keep an eye on him and see how he does. :::stressed:::

It looks all dried out again. What to do?

Well I steamed up the bathroom and took the egg in and chipped away some shell. The membrane (if that's what it's called) is white and thick. I dabbed some warm water on it and put it back in the incubator. Not much blood. I tried looking in, but I didn't want to hurt the duckling. I could see...
