I am incubating six duck eggs. Three have hatched. Is this one shrink wrapped? I can't tell if I should intervene or not. Yesterday was "hatching" day.
Also there is very little room for the three that hatched and I know your not supposed to open the lid?
Hi. I have incubated 12 eggs and list electricity for hours twice during incubation.
So far I have five chicks. I had to assist one because it was shrink wrapped. If I shine a light thru the window of the incubator I can see life in the eggs. Could they be shrink wrapped? Delayed in growth from...
Thank you. I would say the first one hatched about twelve hours ago.
Also ATM no other eggs are pipped. But if I hold this light right at the plastic window I can slightly see the chicks in the shell and I'm checking the nine out of twelve and there's life in each shell yet. So I should just...
Should I take these chicks out of the incubator and riskarm to the other eggs I have not incubated and probably four years and got a new incubator that is much smaller and three chicks are in there and I feel like there's just not enough room for everything should I open the incubator and take...

Yes I am and you are right. I have incubated so many times but it has been awhile so I'm a little less confident. I could be wrong about them being bigger and smaller. I never had the electric go out when I was incubating and for so many hours. I candled them all after the electric came back on...
