Can you please get a pic of the air cell end?

What does that look like to you in the pic @WVduckchick?

I’m sorry, but there’s no way that looks like 27 days of incubation. your temps must have been extremely low, that duckling has several days before it could hatch, if it’s still alive.

Are you positive of the day count? It’s easy to mess up, so I don’t mean that rudely.

Nothing can be done at this point except keep waiting.

Thank you for your advice . I marked the date on the egg and I’m sure it’s accurate. My incubator s temp is set on 38c unless it’s malfunctioning... could be why all my previous hatching failed?

could be the bill, but could also be a knee... it’s really hard to tell.

Yes and a pic of my incubator as well

What type of incubator? We always suggest using another independent thermometer that has been tested for accuracy, at least until you get to know your incubator.

How high has humidity been throughout incubation?

ok, that looks fine. I’d just keep waiting. I suspect you have at least a few more days before you will see any action. By the last couple of days, the duckling should completely fill the egg. No clear areas like you have, so it still has a lot of growing to do before it can hatch.

Also, that’s a bit too much condensation on the lid. I’d try to dry that up some.
Good luck! I have to get to work! Will check back in when I can.

Thank you so much. The incubator has not humidity setting it’s a mini 7 egg one that I bought on eBay.

I would get a hygrometer and another thermometer. I don't think everything is set to where I should be. Make sure the temp is correct and that the humidity isn't too high.
