Did your’s survive? I assisted with mine as I was instructed on a fb group due to it being past its “due date” and seemed like it was having trouble, but it passed away. Was told to make the air hole in center of air sac or he would suffocate and that it wouldn’t hurt it, somehow his yolk sac...
I did this, and although I was in the center of the airsac, somehow the yolk busted, and we lost our already beloved duckling. He was perfectly healthy. He just needed a few extra days. It appeared he had pipped, but had I not tried to give him more air, he would most likely would have hatched...
😭 he didn’t make it. I’m assuming I may have either poked the yolk or I spooked him and he busted it somehow. He inhaled it, and I ended up peeling the shell so he could breathe and I tried so hard. I put coconut oil over the membrane that was exposed so it wouldn’t dry out. I thought I cleared...
I seen no movement and started crying, panicked and peeled off enough shell to where its beak was out and now it is breathing. 😭 I put coconut oil around the membrane as the assisted article suggested, so it doesn’t dry out. I am still panicking but it’s breathing and trying to peek its beak out...
I took a small needle and scored until I poked a very small needle size hole through it. Is that enough for it to get any extra air if it needs?
The shell was really hard too, which I know chicken eggs might be different than the duck egg as far as thickness goes. I hope I didn’t cause harm to...
The duck has started pipping I believe last night or this morning. He has been trying to break through the membrane for a day. I incubated the egg on April 8th. The breed is one of adult ducks pictured.
There are orange/red spots appearing on the egg on the outside as well on the inside. It...

Is there any possibility it could have a delayed development since it was shipped?
I received two eggs, but the other wasn't fertilized I guess. The one that is, It was about half this size three days ago. Sorry if I sound stupid, I've always wanted to hatch ducks and this is the first time...
I put a duck egg I ordered online in an incubator on December 13th. Does it look like it's developing? If so, can someone label what's what? (Beak, feet, etc.)
