3 of my eggs havebinternally pipped! My hen abandoned her nest of 4 so i brought them in and stuck them in the incubator with the others. So i am not sure exactly when they were due to hatch. I thought aroynd the 9th but apparently she was on them longer than i thought.

They are cayuga/ indian runner and the drake is khaki campbell.

Nice!

Post pictures when they hatch please

 

[Quackedup69]

Wii do.

Okay, so one of the duck eggs has been internally pipped for 25 hours now. Should i just leave it be? Or make a pinhole? Still have plenty of movement.

Probably should leave it be.

Perfect!

The answer to poking a hole is no don't do that. There is a reason why they wait after internally pipping before they pip. If you interrupt that by pipping, you can mess up the ability of them to hatch.

I think Banty wrote an article about the lack of Oxygen and why it is important. If the eggs are very late you can try poking a hole but that is a Hail Mary type of thing and nearly never works.

Yeah, i had decided to wait it out. When i went to adjust the humidity to keep it 65+ i noticed it started on its own. Im anxious. All 4 are progressing as they should. Yay
