any advice on lockdown?

Thank you!!! They're so cute!!! 4 have hatched now. There's one that hasn't really made any progress, externally pipped but no noise or movement!

I think @WVduckchick is hatching today too but hopefully she'll check in with you soon. When did this duckling externally pip how long ago?

Last one has just hatched!! I heard chirping so left it and thank goodness it hatched. On average they took 31 hours from external to hatching! I'll post pics soon

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see them..

 

[WVduckchick]

Yeah! Glad to hear it. So do you think they are finished?

Looking forward to pics. I could look at baby duckling pics all day

Well.... I was going to leave them in there for a few days anyway as you had said that they could take a few more days. I just did a quick candle of the remaining ones without external pips and one has an internal pip! It's day 30 now. Shall I make a hole?

Sorry, our time difference, I just saw this, but I see you are getting help on an incubating thread, so I won't confuse things for you lol

Hope you will still post some pics here!

Just my opinion but I'd wait a little longer hopefully @WVduckchick will be here pretty soon. You just don't want that membrane to dry out. Day 30 doesn't mean a thing to ducklings.

Thank you. I know, the time difference sucks!! Duckling is still chirping and moving its beak around but nothing else. Shall I still wait?

Here's one from of the cuties!!

Did you do that? and you can see the bill? I enlarged the pic and still couldn't see the bill. if bill is open now so it can get air just let it finish hatching really needs to finish on it's own. If at all possible.

What precious babies. What breed?
