Hello,

my duck egg is on day 30 and still no internal pip 😞 haven’t seen movement since Sunday and it is now wednesday. Can anyone give me some advice?

Float test, to see if anything is viable. But.....wait.

Did anything go wrong during your incubation? I would still wait and maybe play some duckling sounds to see if that helps stir movement.
No none that I know of. I’ll put some duckling sound on right now!! X
 
I hope it helps stimulate some movements for you🤞 but sometimes little adjustments can happen in the incubator to cause a later hatch. So there is still hope.

Sorry about your egg. Don't float test it, that won't tell you anything. The float test is not for use on live (or possibly live) eggs. It is only to test the age of eggs meant for consumption. If it were my egg, I would open up the air cell very slowly and carefully, just enough that you can tell if it's alive or not. It sounds like it might have quit unfortunately. I would just open it as though you are assisting, just enough to see if it's alive. Keep us posted, good luck.
Also, is this your only egg?

Thank you, I have 4 eggs in there but this one was a bit older than the rest so was going to hatch earlier. Sadly passed away. The other 3 are looking strong though!
