Duck eggs day 26

[DannLi]

Hi guys,
So today is day 26 and we're on lockdown, temp is at 37 and humidity is currently at 72%.
up to yet there's no internal pipping, the eggs aren't wiggling like they were yesterday either....is this normal?
I'm sure this anxiety in the last few days is normal for most of you and i'm trying to keep calm and keep occupied, but wow it's so hard!

Can anyone tell me if this is normal please? as we're now entering the 27th day and there's no change at all, no wiggling, no internal pipping as far as i can see through the incubator...i really want to open the incubator to check if they're alive or not :/

Can't help,I hate that no one ever here for ducks, I read they hatch in 28 days, and do get quite , and sometimes you have to put a pin whole in egg to help out, sometimes your beer of googling info

Thanks for your reply i really appreciate it.
I've spent all afternoon googling and each time come up with different answers, i think i'm going to have to open the incubator and candle them quickly, i've been watching them constantly and haven't even seen a tiny bit of movement, they've done so well up until now so i'd be heartbroken to lose them this close to hatch day

Good luck to you, I don't think it would hurt, ducks don't sit on them all day, I got mine at three days old, I love them, I'm obsessed wihthem

well this morning we noticed one egg had internally pipped and half an hour later it had also externally pipped....wow! this is so exciting!
The other 3 are showing no signs of internal pips yet though but i feel a little better about that now.
ahh how lovely...how many do you have?

Hi & thank you....No i didn't open the incubator yesterday to candle, i was going to give them until today but everything seems to be progressing so i will leave them be for a while and see what happens
