O sorry 2 hatched out of 5 so far, one died, so 2 to go. The membrane is yellow an realyy gooey like snot so prepared to jump in, I'm going 2 check at midnight than the morning.

Did he hatch ok?

Hatching day is next Friday. But the wet cotton ball on the hole seems to be helping a lot. It seems to add moisture inside the shell loosening up that gooy stuff.

I get chicken eggs like that all the time. Have never had a duck egg like that though. The chicks hatch fine so hopefully the ducks will too. The air cell in my chick eggs always attaches somewhere as the chick gets bigger and It doesn't have room to float around anymore. The worst ones were the cochin banties I did last month. 17 of 24 hatched though so not bad on shipped eggs with crazy air cells IMO

I'm hoping his doesn't quite on me, so far so good were on day four..

All ducks after hatching have a snot ball to them chickens do not. Or it could be sticky gooy stuff that we are all struggling with..prehaps that's why you lost the one..

I think that's how I lost it the 2 duck had to be assisted, they were covered in the goo and could barely move around

Fingers crossed for all the babies. I only had the 1 call egg in lockdown but several chicken eggs. I think so far we're up to 1 call, 4 polish, 2 silkies, 3 Ameraucana and 4 Easter Eggers Still waiting on 4 polish, 1 silkie and 2 Easter Eggers. After these I have another batch going into lockdown for hatch next week. Mostly polish, cochin bantams, and silkies in the next batch but do have a couple swedish flower and Easter Eggers going in along with a couple calls if they make it to lockdown I just love babies!!
