Duckling taking a long time to unzip egg

[johnbuster]

I'm currently trying to hatch some runner duck eggs and only one has pipped so far. It's been trying to unzip for about a day and a half now, should I be worried?

I've heard of them going for longer, if it really worries you then @MGG would be a good person to talk to.

Ducklings are really slow, especially the first one. I have had many take 48 hours so try not to worry.

Has your duckling hatched @johnbuster ?
Best of luck with the rest of your hatch!

yes it has, just took it a while. doesn't look like any others are going to hatch sadly since it's already 3 days past their due date

I’m glad it hatched but sorry that it looks like the others won’t.
Is there any movement when candling?
