14 ducklings, 1 still trying, and one doing nothing. I'll go take a pic.

Yes, this. We had a fund raiser to attend, I forced myself to go be social. And got back to two tired, wet ducklings. Woo Hoo!!!!!

I'm still waiting. Up and down all night, getting nothing done today.... Today is hatch day, but almost all had pipped by midnight. I have one trying to work it's way out, and I'm getting really worried. How long can they remain in there once they pip? More gray hair is coming in as I type!

Rushed home to no ducklings. More pips, but that's it. We went out for dinner so I would stop staring. Rushed home, more pips but no ducklings. I think I'm getting more gray hair today.

Mine aren't due until tomorrow, but I had 2 pips before I left for work. I'm bailing out early.

No, I've never heard of it after day 23. Where are the hatching experts? I'm staring at my eggs, trying to will them to wiggle. Nothing. So of course I am freaking out over here. DH is modifying the coop to be able to separate the little ones from the big ducks and chickens. Hopefully he...

I hope you do get some to hatch, it's awful to wait all that time for nothing. Have you pulled one out to candle?

I'm sure our eggs will be fine too. But just in case, I hover. And lurk with a flashlight in the middle of the night. We haven't started with apples yet. I love canning, but went a bit overboard this year. Apples are an October thing here. Still peeking, watching for a wiggle.

Maybe they are just taking their time. I've had late ones, I try not to panic until day 23. By then I'm up sneaking around with a flashlight all hours. DH just sighs, he knows I can't help it. No, I ended up with a bag of zucchini to tend to. Mayo will have to wait until I'm done with...

Now that mine are in lockdown I find myself staring non stop. Wiggle darn it, wiggle! I'm hopeless. What day are you on? And what day did you start counting? My first hatch I started counting the day that I set them, rather than 24 hours later. I was a mess thinking I wasn't going to have...

I'm staring at 17 Welsh Harlequin eggs, lockdown starts at 2:30 this afternoon. Hopefully all make it to lockdown. I'm trying to get my canning and dehydrating done, but the eggs keep interfering. I can hear the turner, which makes me go check on them. I started with 24, they are from my...

Anything yet? It is torture, tomorrow starts our lockdown and I am already staring at these darn eggs. Yes, I put them on my desk. Can't be too far away or anything like that.
