Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Amiga]

Never a dull moment.

I could have sworn there was internal pipping for at least one on day 22. Here I am on day 25 though and no external pips. I locked them down on Wednesday morning and they are due tomorrow. Is it okay to candle tomorrow? To see what all is going on? Or is that considered a no no regarding temp and humidity? I'll prob add warm water to the troughs as well (to bump up the humidity, since I last did that early Wednesday). So I'll be opening the incubator and doing those couple of things, unless one of you tells me that it's not a good idea

What I did was put the flight up to them without moving them at all and looked for the telltale triangle shadow that shows they've internally pipped. If you're quick about it then it shouldn't negatively impact the eggs.

I'm still paranoid that one of the babies may be backwards...I hate not knowing. Why can't ducks lay transparent eggs??

That would be helpful... I think it is funny I hatch these little petite ducklings that can hardly ever hatch out on their own and then I hatch these giants who dont even zip but just break out of there shell with their beak like its a hammer! lol. (Mine actually havnt hatched yet though. Just have seen videos.)

Nuts, you got my heart slipping for a moment there! When are the emus due to hatch, again?
