Hi,

I have duck eggs and we areon day 30. No internal pip no yet.
Do I need to help? This is my first time!
I have a home made incubator & the humidity has fluctuated. I’m worried the membrane is too thick?

I’ve added an image- what am I actually looking at? Is it the beak? ( it’s actually a video but it’s don’t know how to upload).

the ducks are Indian runner.

I haven’t used a homemade incubator but I did buy one without a fan (ugh!) and hatched chickens once. I remember I had to rotate those suckers like 2-3 times a day. It had a mechanism though that would rotate the eggs without me having to open the incubator. Have you opened the incubator a lot? That and the humidity fluctuation I’m guessing might be causing it... I’d give it more time like previous posters suggested and try not to open it.
