I’ve been away, but glad to see 2 are likely to be ok. Sorry for the one that didn’t make it.
Can I ask which one was egg #3?
(Sorry if i skimmed too fast and missed it, if you said before)

Egg #3 was the one with the bad air sac and that’s the one that didn’t make it.

I was guessing so, wonky air cells can go either way, so rest assured it wasn’t your fault.

Thank you
Question, wil there be away I can tell if my call ducks are good quality?

I guess I should have worded my original post better and I didn't see the call egg part, but my issue with safety holes isn't the safety holes themselves per se it's the recommendation of using them without proper instruction which introduces more complications. When I see recommendations to make a safety hole they often leave out that it needs to be done at the correct point of hatch, with a sterilized instrument, very carefully not to puncture the actual bird and the hole itself needs to be the appropriate size to provide air, but not be too big that it causes the membrane not to dry too quickly.

I agree with this!
And, the majority of the time interference is probably not necessary.
It just kind of all depends on what the history is behind the eggs and past experiences.

So the second duckling is still ok, but keeps trying to push out of her egg and she still attached to it. She is bleeding because she keeps doing this!!! Should I do something or just leave her alone?

@HollowOfWisps, @WVduckchick, @shawluvsbirds? Any ideas?
