UPDATE!!! THE MUSCOVY HATCHED! It was at 4 in the morning on Wednesday but he came out IT'S SO CUTE!! I put the older ducklings in the big brooder outside so the little baby had to stay alone in the small brooder. He will not let me leave him alone!!! I have to hold him practically all day I...

Lol yea, sometimes you just have to help. I don't know what went wrong in my hatch but it looks like the 4th egg needs help too I think it was caused by the weird air cells caused by shipping. The air is just everywhere and to me it looks impossible for anything to move in there. It's been...

Day 35!! Egg #4 is finally coming!! Saw a pip yesterday!

~UPDATE!! Day 7~ 3 of the ducks are strong and healthy and they are a week old!! They LOVE getting water EVERYWHERE and making me clean their brooder twice a day Also, if you noticed I had a 4th egg. It's not dead!! During incubation I noticed this egg looked less developed than everyone...

Hey!!! New problem!! The big one likes to bite bite bite!!! It won't stop biting things!! I thought it was hungry but it spit out the food!! Now it's biting the other ones!! Will it stop?

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Day 28 All 3 chicks are doing fine!!! I'm glad I helped those other 2 because I don't think they would be out if i didn't help. The second one I helped took 11 hours after I zipped it before finally pushing out. It was very weak but now it's walking. The last one...

Here's pics of the one I helped!! I didn't help all the way, all i did was unzip him leaving the membrane there. He pushed out when he was ready! And it was at 3 in the morning The other ones chirp but don't do much else. They don't chip away at the egg. So far the hatched duckling is just...

One hatched now, but with assistance by me. I think it wouldv'e still been in there if I hadn't helped. The humidity was 55% during incubation and 75% during lockdown, so I still can't see why they have dry membranes. The one that pipped 31 hours ago still hasn't done anything, nor the one I...

It's been more than 24 hours and things aren't looking good. It looks like the chick cannot move. I also made an artificial pip for the one that was internally pipped for 36 hours. They all look like they can't move...what do i do?

#2 has been pipped for 22 hours so I helped. All i did was open up the pip by a tiny bit so it could breath. EDIT: 2 hours and no sign of it trying to come out

3 more hours of nothing

One egg has been internally pipped for over 24 hours now and hasn't externally pipped. Do you think its stuck?? The air cell is really big. Also #2, the egg that made the first pipped made a second pip that still hasn't broken the membrane. Not much progress here.

Impatiently waiting for something to happen

It's day 26 here's one more pip that happened overnight!! Also I think #2 is getting ready to start zipping! #3 hasn't pipped yet but it's shaking!

#2 PIPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HEAR IT CHIRPING!! No pics yet because its very small and i cant catch it on camera. But it's there

it's been 24 hours since internal pip for #2 and it hasn't pipped yet. It's still trying though, I can tell!

Today is day 25 and I candled #3 (the green one) and it pipped inside too! I also heard another chirp from #2 but no hole yet. Maybe it will pip later today! Since #4 is not going to hatch anytime soon I'm going to put it in a separate incubator made for only 1 egg. I have it for emergencies. It...

LOOK ITS ONLY DAY 24 AND IT PIPPED INSIDE THE AIR CELL AND ITS MOVING AROUND A LOT AND CHIRPING They just went into lockdown!!! The 3 in the front I'm expecting to hatch within the next few days but I think the one in the back may be the Muscovy egg (the one that looks behind everyone...

I HEARD A PEEP FROM EGG #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ITS ONLY DAY 24 I CANDLED IT AND IT PIPPED IN THE AIR CELL AND ITS TRYING TO PIP ON THE OUTER SHELL OMG ITS EARLY!

~Day 24~ They're going into lockdown later tonight!! No more opening the incubator. I see lots of shadows in the air cell. Could they have pipped in it already??
