2/5 ducklings so far!! First time hatcher

[WonkierZulu]

I would leave them alone. If it's day 28 that's not a big deal. Some will hatch throughout the next day or so. Or they will not hatch if you have not candle before lockdown.

If it doesn't seem viable but you're not sure, place it back in until you're sure. If the first egg shows signs of being alive, I'd just leave the others as they are

You don't want to turn the egg over or anything like that. Try to keep the egg in its same position to keep the duckling from becoming disoriented

So it looks like one isnt filling the shell all the way so it may have died beforehand. But I'm not entirely sure.
One other one looks like its pipped inside?
And the third one I cant tell.

I think I will leave them in for a few more days and see. The two that hatched already are in the brooder and being crazy.

This is wonderful news! Sometimes just taking a quick peek is enough to ease our minds. Doing this quickly and acting accordingly with keeping humidity in mind isn't problematic. The one that's not filling the shell could possibly be in "draw down" which happens before the internal pip. It's hard to say from here, but I would have placed it back and waited. I wish you luck with the remaining eggs. I'd love to see pictures if you have a moment to share

The top one is Darkwing, and the bottom one is Daisy!! I dont know what they are but Daisy has patches of color so she might be a magpie? Or just a mix who knows

To give you an idea of what to do in case one of them needs help, etc, I'm sharing my favorite article that I read before each and every hatch. It's so full of knowledge, even if no assistance is necessary. I really like this article a lot and I hope it's helpful to you (not hoping you need to assist but just for gaining more knowledge

I absolutely adore ducklings so much! My last hatcher for this year is almost 2 months old now and not very duckling like anymore. You've got 2 absolutely adorable ducklings. I'm in love and I know you are too! What breed of ducks do you have already?

The ones I have already are a mix of Swedish, Buff and Rouenns! They arent very friendly but I love them.
