My chicks started hatching Sunday! So far, this is the only one with issues. It pipped Sunday afternoon 3pm ish. It did not hatch until this morning.

I need a bit of advice. I set duck eggs (Mallards) under my broody and ended up with one viable egg so when the eggs reached 8 days I put chicken eggs under her and got rid of all the duck eggs that were not viable.
