Do Cayuga take longer? (Hatching)

[New duck mommy 2021]

I know these babies are close to hatching but we had a split second of no power. Even though we should be fine, any tips in case we lose power for longer?

Grab a thick blanket and wrap the bator in it not covering the vent hold but should help to keep heat inside
Also running a shower on hot woth door closed will give you heat and humidity in case power goes out to long. Hopefully it doesn’t

Thankfully the storm has passed and we're just having normal rain. Thank you though!

Hows is the duckling making progress?

Hows is the duckling making progress?

Duckling #1 is still poking at the shell but hasn't cracked it yet.
Duckling #2 is also now poking at the shell.
Duckling #3 died. I ended up cracking it open to see what may have happened but I can't really tell. It absorbed most of the yolk but had a tiny bit left. Any ideas?

Since we're down to 2 ducklings, I have decided to keep both. I had a plan to only keep 1 and put it in with my other duckling but now I can't do that because it wouldn't be fair to sell a single duckling.

Duckling #1 definitely wants out. As soon as I picked the egg up to candle it, it was moving around like crazy. Almost like it was telling me 'let me out of here!'

No external pip yet.
I'm not completely sure on how long it's been internal as I only noticed yesterday
