Eggs are moving! How much longer???

[new2thisstuff]

I have made a safe hole in all of the remaining ones. I can't see any movement in a couple of them, but I can see blood vessels. A Pekin has made his hole a little bigger, so maybe he'll get out.

Give them 24 hours

Your Pekin will be ok, it's the others that sound like they are either dead or could be upside down..

When I left them, three pekins we're pecking or chirping. I don't think the cayugas are going to hatch. I guess I'll find out in the morning. The first pekin is a little rascal. So much personality! He didn't want me nearly as much when the other pekin and the two mallards joined him. I'll get some sleep tonight!

How are the kids looking today?

I may have goofed... There was very little change from yesterday, so I took some warm water and put it on the membrane with my fingers. They were both active, but seemed to be stuck, The membrane was pretty dry. I helped one get almost all of the way out. I noticed that there was one tiny blood vessel still attached to the yolk sack. I was afraid that I had killed him. He wiggled away and broke the connection.

So, both are out, and very noisy. Two hours later, they're still kicking.

So they are out of the shell?

Pictures please! I had fun keeping up with this thread and glad I started late so I didn't have to go through the stress of waiting. LOL

 

[Lacrystol]

Yes, they're out.

How many more left?
