Hey there! I need some advice! My Welsh Harlequin and Welsh/Buff x ducks are on day 31 of incubation. 3 of them hatched early this morning, about 5 have pipped, 2 zipping, and 8 that still haven't pipped!

I'm really worried, is there something I should do to help?? I have poked "safety holes" in the eggs that haven't pipped yet, but It looks like some haven't even internally pipped!

3 of them died yesterday due to being backwards in the egg.. could that be the problem with the ones who haven't internally pipped yet? I still saw movement last night, so I know their alive... When should I intervene?? Thanks in advance for any advice!

P.S. I already know how to preform an assisted hatch successfully, I've had to do quite a few (unfortunately).
