day 30 and still no ducklings? PLEASE ANSWER IN WORRIED

[Miss Lydia]

do u think i should set up the brooder now??

Is it moving around? and yes get the brooder warm by all means, maybe it is the yolk it hasn't absorbed yet, don't mess wit the egg it has to absorb all the yolk before it will hatch.

It broke the yolk sac, that does not sound good. The best you can do for the baby, is leave it alone, and let it do its job. helping, or messing with the egg will/can hurt the baby. Good luck!. Keep us posted!
