Duck Todays is Hatching day

[LauraSBale]

Well nothing is happening, i thought i would wake up to some pepping, I have 5 eggs, and before lock down all 5 had movement in them, i checked them this morning, and only 1 i can feel movement in

i candled the other 4 and dont see any movement or anything, I hope nothing happened to them in the last 3 days

I don't know anything about ducks but are you suppost to candle them on the day they are due to hatch? Shouldn't you wait a couple of days? Sending you some good hatching vibs.

Well, today is day 30 for me and a call duck just hatched. Call ducks are supposed to take 26 days. Also I just got a pip on my last Magpie egg. The first one hatched on day 27. So just leave the eggs for a couple more days and make sure the humidity stays high.
Good Luck!

I have it about 60% hum, is that ok or should it be higher

last month my 2 ducks hatched 24 and 25 days, i will keep watching,

Maybe your temp was down so they are taking a little longer? Again, I know nothing about ducks only that I would like to see pics when they hatch. I'm thinking positive for you.

If today is hatching day, then you should not open the incubator to candle or feel the eggs. You run the very high risk of shrink-wrapping the duckling inside the membrane. Best of luck and hope you end up with at least a few!
