Chicks/Ducks Incubation

[Jaxx_]

Hello my chicks are on Day 20 today and no sign of zipping or pecking yet I did see some wiggling though on Day 18..should I be concerned?

I also am hatching 2 Peking ducks as well and they are in Day 20. Candled and there was movement. But just curious..any tips on hatching Peking ducks?

Thank you

Count the day you place them in the incubator as 0.....lockdown at 18 and hatching should begin on the 21st day for CHICKS....best of luck

Thank you

day 25 lockdown...28th day hatch time. make sure incubator is maintaining temp and your humidity is accurate. From my experience hatching ducklings it seems to me they tend to communicate somehow while breaking through the egg. If one hatches before the other they give inspiration and sometimes assistance to their sibling. Sounds Wild but.......happy hatching
