This is my first time hatching eggs and I’m having some problems
I have 4 pekin duck eggs and I’m realy worried
2 have piped on the wrong side of the egg and aren’t making any more progress in 24hours
Safely after reading and watching what to do, I made the pip hole bigger and moistened the membrain as it had gotten hard, I also candled the inside to look for veins and their are a few tiny ones
They are still cheeping and moving but I can see them trying to hatch but nothing happening
From what I can see inside one of the eggs, it seems that it’s starting to fluff up a bit
I’ve also put a damp paper towel on them to increase humidity, which it is
I’m just worried about them hatching as they were due today
My other 2 eggs seem to be doing ok but I’m not sure if they are zipping yet, they are making a few more cracks but it’s still taking a while, I’m not too worried about them but one keeps trying to move one bit of shell whilst the other seems to be doing cracks in a circle
Any help would be appreciated
