Day 28, no internal pips yet? Ducks

[2 many chickens]

Good news is it will probably be able to hatch on its own Bad news is it's gonna take a long time from the pip to when it starts to zip, maybe even up to 48 hours, because it didn't get the normal resting time in the air cell. Its external pip is what would have been its internal pip if it was positioned correctly. So, that one has probably quite some time yet until it hatches.

Crap. Poor baby. :/
Will the others be okay if I leave them in there for 48 hours?
3rd one hatched. Didn't need to help, his brother sat on the shell and helped lol

You can take the others out Opening the incubator quickly won't hurt anything, just watch the humidity and make sure it goes back up afterwards.

4th hatched! I will wait until he dries to transfer them. Wrong ender is still struggling to open. 4 other eggs I think are dead/never made it.

5 babies! Wrong ender is still only made a small hole and slightly sticks his nose out. He is breathing tho.

Should I help it at some point or leave it be?

Thank you! Thank goodness he made it out on his own, I was suprised. The last one that hatched is still in the bator with his lower eggshell yolk is still attached to him. I took all the others out so they'd leave him alone. Worried about this one.

Im not sure if I should help this last guy, it seems like he's stuck in there . I can see his yolk is not absorbed but he is stuck like the sides are glued to him? Is he shrink wrapping?
