[COLOR=0000CD] The lone duck egg has in in the incubator peeping for the last 24 hours, no external pip. He is due out today. I leave him alone right......  but is there a point I can help? I always try not to help as I know that is the general advice but..... [/COLOR]

I would not mess with that egg. Ducklings are notorious for taking their time hatching, 3 days from pip to hatch is not uncommon. Patience, grasshopper.

I totally agree.. Ducks. Take. Forever. But it should at least have an external pip by now..

Book, are you sure there's not a pip on the underside that you can't see?

Quote: I second the Ziploc suggestion for opening questionable eggs.

Stick it in, seal it and then open, mess and smell contained and you will learn a lot by examining them.

Quote: Most of the stuff will be easy to find again. BUT the crib, if you like the side doing down, those are impossible almost as they are illegal. I'm not tall so if I ever sold my crib and found my self expecting that would be high on the list of problems.

Quote: Right Right and Right, just make sure its a room temp set of egg whites. And if your chickens aren't laying there is pre-seed.

You and I.. We may be kindred spirits. / :/
