You can wait a bit longer or make a tiny pin hole just above where the beak is If it’s been longer then 24 hours I do this and most times they still make the external and hatch themselves I just like a peace of mind I don’t make it big only a tiny hole the size of my tac pin

Has it external yet ? If not how long has internal been ?

I have no idea then Hopefully these last 2 keep going strong

Any bruise on the egg with the dead one ?

Grab a thick blanket and wrap the bator in it not covering the vent hold but should help to keep heat inside Also running a shower on hot woth door closed will give you heat and humidity in case power goes out to long. Hopefully it doesn’t

Sounds like maybe baby got a big vein when internal pip happened Sorry for the loss Let gross fingers all goes well for the last 3

@KikiDeAnime Any update ?

I have assisted many ducks myself and have string healthy babies But I would never force a hatch time start The OP of this post has said these eggs have not started a hatch yet No internal. No external No bruises of wrong Position These babies are not trying to hatch yet What I’m wondering...

It won’t kill hatches to be higher or lower but it can speed up or delay them Egg size and humidity also play a roll If you have a smaller egg run high humidity you get a smaller air cell baby will fill the egg and hatch on time With a lower humidity and smaller egg it will hatch early Bigger...

Temp should be at 99.5 to hatch on time 98 is low enough this can cause the delay you are having Please don’t start ti assist babies that aren’t ready yet

You assist when eggs have not even started the hatch process ? I’m a little confused. If they haven’t started it’s cause they aren’t ready

If your bator is off this can cause delays Higher humidity means smaller air cells and babies can have ti much room and take extra time as well. Has the air cell dipped forward yet ? I wouldn’t touch an egg that has not started to hatch on its own

Did you calibrate a thermometer and set it inside the bator at egg level ? What temp and humidity did you run ? What day did you set them and was it morning or evening ?

Do you see shadowing along the air cell ? Check eggs fir bruising

Can you check egg dig bruising as well

No internal pip yet ?
