    Backwards duckling!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

    Maybe start with candling on a stable surface so you can see if there’s actual movement or not? And then proceed from there, with whichever option you’re most comfortable with. If you do decide to open the egg at all, starting at the air cell end is always best, even if you do wind up going...

    hm, odd color changes. Hard to say then. I assume it developed the spots recently, when you created the thread, and didn’t have them when you began incubating?

    Ok. Your humidity is fine. :) Assisted Hatching Guide If you haven’t already taken a read through, the above link is an invaluable reference for if you need to assist. Usually it’s best to approach from the air cell and work your way from there, as there isn’t a chance of damaging blood...

    Backwards duckling!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hrrrmmm. Could be a couple of things. Could be it’s malpositioned and trying to pip internally and externally in one go. Could be that it has bacterial growth in there. Perhaps it hit a small vessel while moving in there. (I’ve had this happen prior to hatch before.) If you tap the egg while...
