Ducklings are hatching

[DuckyDonna]

Lol,. You are funny!
One chick has been chirping for 24 hours. I saw the external pip at 2 in the morning. They both seem to be napping now. No more cracking recently. Is this all normal?

Yes it's normal!

Yes it's normal!

Thanks for the reassurance. Whew this hatching stuff makes me nervous.

Don't worry, you're doing fine! Don't be afraid to ask questions either.

Do we have ducklings yet?

I have one. Hatched about 4 hours ago and just checked. Still sleeping and umbilical still attached, I took off the shell. Is that all normal? When should she start walking? Also, the other duckling, I thought would hatch first. The egg zipped. It's like she quit after she stopped hearing her buddy. Just checked on her, I can hear her chirp, not as loud as before.

Is the duckling still working? The membrane looks dry. Do you have any vaseline of coconut oil
