Do you think its shrink wrapped?

[LindseyM12]

Hi guys, I have a duck in the incubator and it's pipped but it just sitting there and not doing anything... Do you think it's shrink wrapped? What should I do? Thanks!!

how long has it been pipped? how big is hole in membrane?

How long has it been? It could just be resting. It's hard work being born.

Hiow long has it been pipped? My first hatch of ducklings one took from pip on a Monday til hatch on Wednesday afternoon. They can take awhile.

I've read that ducks can take much longer to hatch than chickens. Like, up to 48 hrs from pip to hatch.
I'd say try not to stress too much and leave it alone. It's probably just resting for a bit...
