Duck eggs on the 24th day wiggling like crazy! Should I go into lockdown? *UPDATE* with pictures!

[LoveToFarm]

your going to have to start lowering the temp to 98.5 degrees bc they need to turn in the egg to break the top off and if its to hot the membrane might dry out a little on them so they cant move as nice! then when u have hatches move the temp to 97.5 degrees.

Hmmmm...didn't know I had to drop temps at hatch for ducks. Maybe THAT has been my problem

ya and u have to open ur vent hole to 50% so they have more air flow through the incubator!

My poor baby is having the hardest time coming out of its shell.

It has a hole in the membrane ( in the picture above ) But now every time it tries to break more of the membrane the membrane bleeds

I'm so scared it will bleed to death! What can I do if anything to save it?!

How do I get my humidity up in a home made styro foam cooler bator? Please help! i dont want my little duckies to be shrink wrapped!

if he is bleeding he hasnt obsorbed all he blood yet so he needs to stay in the shell till he has absobed it.he cant get shrink wrapped if his beak is out. he will still be able to breath he just wants to come out to early in my opinon! do u have dishes of water in the incubator?

 

[EmilyPillsbury2]

I have 3 bread pans full of water 2 washcloths and (i know its weird) but i have like 4 tampons all absorbed with water and i still cant keep my humidity above 70

I think for my next hatch ill by an incubator!
