Day 30 for duck eggs still no pip

[Brittanyjohnson1986]

So today's day 30 I have 2 duckling eggs that haven't piped internally yet but are still moving in the egg. I honestly thought they had died in shell and was ready to unplug the incubator when I saw there was still movement. All my other eggs have hatched almost a week ago!! Any advice? Should I let them be? Maybe a safety hole? Is there anything I can convince them to pip lol?!? Btw they are Pekins

Keep waiting....Do nothing and let them hatch on their own if they will?

Right that's what I was thinking but geez there taking forever!

Thanks for the tag! So, what has your temperature in your incubator been, and is it still air or forced air? Your humidity? The eggs that hatched last week, were they also pekins? If so, what day were they on? Are you running a staggered hatch? And what date did you set these eggs?

Ok so my humidity has been 85 temp has been 99-100 they went in on August 26 all at the same time same hatch all Pekins and it has a fan the others hatched on day 25 I believe..I looked after I posted and one had internally pipped the day I posted but still no external and the other one hasn't at all both were still moving in egg last night will check again and update in a few

Humidity seams a bit high.....

I'm using a homemade styrofoam incubator and I've done hatches before and never had any success under 80 may have to do with my area but 85 is what works for my incubator anything under that usually fails

And I've also had to open the incubator to get the other ducklings out and check on them so I needed it up be at least 80-85

Just keep waiting....Hopefully they hatch great....
