Day 22 Call Duck Hatching

[tia]

Day 22 of hatching call ducks. Is this little guy already internally pipped or just working at it? I was going to stop turning tomorrow. I'm assuming 26 days for call ducks.

Not internally pipped yet, but it does look like he's pushed up against the membrane and getting positioned

I wish my eggs were that far along. I have 3 call duck eggs under broody chicken but their only on day 10. Post pics when it's hatched.

I have 9 that are moving around. I can only hope that they will all hatch. I usually up the humidity to 65 for the last few days. I've been reading some places online it should be higher for call ducks. I have been pretty successful with other ducks with that humidity. I'm afraid if I switch it up a bit they might drown. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated if anyone has experience with Calls.

I'd just leave it at 65%, that's what I do for my Calls

Do you lay them down for lockdown or put them upright in egg cartons?

I lay them down. Actually I have them laid down the whole time, since Calls don't really do great incubating upright.
