28th day pekin duck incubation help!

Date sort Score sort
Yea hopfully this time around I can get some cuyagas to hatch. I have 4 that should be at 25 days on Tuesday the 11th just candled them last night they are looking good. The one pekin I still have in the hatcher that broke through the air pocket is still wiggley but hasn't externally pipped yet and I feel like it's been over a day but he's still moving so I'm going to leave him be... I swear these ducks are going to be the death of me

Ok update on the information .... I took the eggs I thought were dead out of the hatcher and candled them and tapped on them a bit to make sure I wasn't missing anything... after about 60 seconds it turns out the other two pekin eggs ore still very much alive

The date on the egg is the 12th making this the 29th day of incubation for the fellas.... they have not broken the air pocket yet ... maybe I put them in the hatcher too early? The eggs are wiggling now that I look closely at them .... is there still hope?

There is still hope. I would have to guess that your temperature has been lower than you thought, causing the delay. Give them a little more time.

Has the air cell drawn down?

Good luck!
 
The air cells seem to have drawn down at an angle like they are supposed to look.... just weird that they haven't broken the air pocket yet.... as far as my other little guy that did he should be pipping externally today.... I'm going to have to check the temp in my big incubator to see what's going on
