Duck eggs rocking for 4 days now..

[EstefanyHernandez10]

Hello! I am new and I have seen my eggs always seem to be rocking. I don't know their hatch date as I rescued them. I'm guessing they are on day 27??? Anyways they have rocked for the past 4 days and I saw a duckling today that was like yanking at the air sac as if nibbling... Is this normal because it seems to me as if it is struggling to open the air sac to make its internal pip. I also see it pressing against the air sac and when it nibbles the air sac it pulls it hard as if its desperate to open it... Is this normal???? Plz help!

I will see if anyone is around to help as I'm not very experienced with hatching..

They're getting ready to internally pip... be patient, ducklings can take a loooong time to hatch, lol...

I'd also like to mention that i notice quite a bit of condensation in your picture. humidity may be a little too high

Thank you I will see if I can lower it because it stays like that even with the lowest amount of water in the trays.

you must live in a very humid area, but it happens. Are your vents open?

No they are not but there is a small hole at the top of the incubator. I will try to create more air circulation. oh and I live in a relatively warm house so that could be the cause.

maybe you could move to cool room???
