Update: Lots of peeping eggs today. The one that appears to be unzipping doesn't seem to have made much progress, but that might not be the case. Cracks can be hard to see on camera.

There should be audio, but It's hard to hear the peeps with out headphones.

Update: This morning I was concerned that some of these eggs have been pipped for 24hrs or more, with day 28 having been on Tuesday. To further increase my anxieties 3/5 of the pips are mispips. In my experience, mispips aren't always able to unzip. I checked each pip carefully for blood veins in the membrane and none have receded yet.

There are 2 eggs that just haven't done anything, but based on the the tardiness of these 5 I'm not ready to give up on them completely.

I can see movement . so when they mispip how long do you give them before helping?

As soon as the blood veins recede I'll try to assist. Right now, with the blood veins still there I could cause a duckling to bleed out by trying to assist.
