Thank you Pekin.....Here are couple of photos of the one I started helping out a couple of days ago. It's still waking up, but it's so cuutte! It already wags it's tail like a big duck does. I didn't known that they did that. :D
Had one pip in the middle. Candled it. It would barely...
I opened a couple because it's been over two days since I saw the supposedly pip in the air sac. It wasn't pipped. :( That was yesterday, and I opened another one..the dented one with the cracks..glad I did on that one..it was full of fluid. Let them hang out yesterday to finish up...
I have an internal pip on three eggs..no more touching now..do they stay in lock down for three days like the chicks?
Same egg, but two others look the same, including the one that is cracked. :) :)
I am wondering if that was there when I got the eggs, and just didn't notice. It very well could have happened during the attack. Good luck with yours. I candled today, the baby is still alive. I don't think I will put anything on it at this point. It seems to be doing ok. I guess I could...

That is good to hear. :) I think you are right..close to hatching, I candled more, and those air sacs have started to drop! Getting that humidity up that high is hard in this bator. It's coming up though. I just these yesterday...they will be hatching before I know it! I'm excited...baby...
Need help!
Silkie, I see you come on here..I know you hatch ducks. Had a friend knocking on my door this morning that I hadn't seen in a while. With a carton full of duck eggs. He says, not sure if they are any good or not..mama got killed by a racoon last night. I asked, last night? How...
