Guide to Assisted Hatching for All Poultry

I have referred to this article so many times and always have it handy if I'm incubating any eggs. It's a quick and easy read that covers a lot of information thoroughly.

I wish you the best

Can you get a clear picture while candling the egg right now?

Any progress?

Chirping is a good sign. That means it has enough air to breathe. If you keep your humidity stable and resist opening the incubator, it should be okay. It can take up to three days for ducklings to hatch after internally pipping.

Here is a site that tells you when and how to assist. There is a little test at the bottom that tells you if you should assist or not, though not sure how accurate it is. https://www.raising-ducks.com/when-assist-hatching/

Update , yesterday on day 33 we assisted and all went well thank goodness and the duckling is very healthy but she was stuck
Inside that egg and could not get out.
