day 29... moving but even no internal pipping

[New duck mommy 2021]

The chick is not moving... do you think it's sleeping or it quit hatching?

Are you able to see the beak at all ?
If the egg isn’t rocking that’s okay but if the beak isn’t moving at all
No chewing , yawning or breathing movements
How high is the humidity ?

One of them died... I think it was through underdevelopment. When I opened it up, there was still WHITE inside.

But the other one is properly pipped. It will probably survive.

Still white ?
Was this the one you made a hole in last night ?

Yes, it was the first one pipped and bruised. Probably the new one is going to hatch today or tomorrow. It is still absorbing blood and yolk.

Oh by the way, the bruised chick had 100-85% yolk left... so it is high chance that it tried to hatch too early.

The last one hatched! She is drying out in the incubator, and I moisturized the membrane before the hatch in the air cell so it doesn't shrink-wrap her.
