I just came home from work and made myself do all my jobs before I checked them, and was rewarded with one talking to me! No external pipping yet. How long is safe to leave them inside without assisting?
iluvsedward - your story is lovely! So sorry about your late quitter I'm not brave enough to open any of my dead ones.

And two tiny little splinters of shell on the floor of the incubator! But the hole is facing the ground, is this a problem?

Oh carcar, congratulations! 8 babies! Eeeee! I'm so excited to be a duck mummy! It would happen tonight while my boyfriend's away, wouldn't it?! I'm not ready to be a single mum!!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter. I had one do that this last time.

And thank you. but for now, the MESS that the present seven are making is helping keep my excitement from overflowing *too* much. BAHAHA!!
