If I can do it, anybody can. I had 5/6 hatch and they are all doing well. The first hatched on Monday and the last hatched with a lot of help on Friday.

It seems that you all were right! I worried prematurely and unnecessarily. 3 are out with a 4th well on its way. I see a possible pip on a 5th egg. Nothing on the 6th and last egg. It is day 28. I'm happy with 4 out of 6. It would be awesome if that 5th one is really on its way, too!

Awesome information! :)

This is day 27. It was moving. Now it is snoozing. I did just pull a tiny, tiny square of shell off that one, just to know the membrane was open. There is one more pipped. Looks like 2 aren't pipped or moving.

I don't know if you can see well enough or not, but it looks like some yolk remains in the shell he just kicked out of.

Thank you! I put warm moist paper towel around the two that had started to soften the shell? I read it somewhere this morning. Turns out the one had started (finally) to get a bigger hole and I saw movement on both that had pipped. Thanks! Monitoring air cells and spritzing with water but...

Okay so I don't follow every rule in the book. Mainly because you all are right, Broody's didn't read the hatching book. I used only the included hygrometer and I think it said it wasn't accurate below 60%. I kept humidity mostly around 50-60 then filled all channels at lockdown but one was out...

The humidity is back up to about 70% according to the included hygrometer. Didn't take long for it to get back up. Thanks! I will try not to worry...I don't want this one to be a lone hatchling out of possible 6 ;)

Also I set these on feb 17 at 4 pm. Day 1 is the next day, right? So today is day 26 or I actually count the day I set as day 1 and today is day 27? They are pekin/runner mix eggs.

The one hatched duckling was walking on the plastic sheet/thermometer. So I took it out quickly. 5 min later I opened it again and shoved that back inside because I realized it is how the temp is regulated. Opened it twice more quickly to add water since I had humidity loss during the other...
