4 of 6 are out..other 2 are coming..100% on a more dry method. I'm warming the brooder now. The hatching inc is so small that they will never dry in there.

There were 6 viable eggs. 4 finally hatched out. The other 2 were still moving. I went to watch number 4 hatch and candled the last 2 eggs through the incubator. They had stopped moving. I immediately opened 1. It had passed. Yolk sac unabsorbed. I moved over and opened the 2nd one. It was barely breathing. I opened the inner skin of the egg and put some coconut oil on it when I saw the yolk sac unabsorbed. I waited a bit and looked again..I peeled more egg..all but around the sac...leaving the inner skin intact so the veins would dry up. I put the baby in a tiny plastic tub about the size of the egg. I put it in the incubator. I lowered the temp a hair. I went back in this morning. The sac was absorbed. I cut the umbilical cord and poked the baby into the brooder. I wish I had intervened a little earlier. I could of saved them both I believe..nature does things for a reason though..so I am not gonna beat myself up over it. I just got back from seeing a friend of over 30 yrs in hospice. I am thankful to have the joyful ducklings. I need a win. I got 5 little ones. I have 22 more duck eggs and 6 special chicken eggs in the bater. Thanks for all your help and encouragement in this hatch.
 
Oh My Look At Those Beautiful Babies & Don't Feel Bad I Lost A Fully Developed Pomeranian Gosling. He Had Pipped And Zipped & He I Thought Would Be Fine To Finish Up Himself ,Woke Up The Next Morning & He Had Passed. Sometimes It Just Happens. But I Am Thankful For The Babies I Ended Up With...
