Those are 2 of the cutest fuzzy butts I've ever seen! Well worth the stress!

You know at this point I wouldn't worry so much about keeping them moist. They need rest and time. It's pretty much out of your hands now. Keep us posted!

I don't think there's really much else you can do. You have helped them as far along as you can. I wouldn't spray them with a bottle, I'd qtip them with warm water. And I'd only do it once every 3 or 4 hours. This is #1 and 2 in the pic right? I can only tell you what I would do. And I...

OK. I wouldn't mess with them any more. That one on the left has more absorbing to do. They are going to be cuties! Any word on the last one on the right? The third one from the left looks like it's in a position to get out if it wants too. But I'd leave him be for a few.

Well... I'm of the opinion that you are doing a FABULOUS job. Sometimes they don't make it.. IT is what it is. None of them would have made it, and the learning experience you've gotten is going to serve you well in the future. If the yolk sac is about the size of a gumball they are...

Me too! But no updates might be a good thing too. (maybe) lol.

No. I was hoping for a pic so I could maybe tell where to start. You are so lucky you have a mama duck to do this for you!

Updates!!! You have done amazing! Can you snap a pic of the one that you can't find the beak on?

She'll just keep helping them little by little. Sounds like she's got her "inner ducky" going strong. She's done GREAT so far!!

Didn't she do great! That's the idea. But... Ya never know. My guess would be probably not. LOL. I never get that lucky.

Sounds like you did great. I wouldn't pip for the ones that haven't internally pipped. I'd just watch them. They might be okay since you've got the humidity up now. Keep the others moist with a dropper or qtip. I would chip away more every 3 to 4 hours, and if you see blood stop. Can't wait...

I'm staying close by to see what you find. Take your time.

To create an external pip, I use a razor blade or exacto knife. Make a X type cut TAKE YOUR TIME, and then you can use tweezers to chip the shell away. Don't take it completely out of the shell. You're just creating a hole big enough to take a peek inside, trying to find the beak and giving...

I'm afraid it's going to be a pain since she has to walk outside to do this.

If it were me: If it internally pipped on Monday I would assist it. Is that something you've done before? And do you have an incubator.
