Yay! My duck eggs have finally cracked the shell after a long 27 days. One is doing fine and has cracked on the larger end (where the air sac is) but the other have crack a bit of shell off that is now laying in the bottom of the incubator BUT it's is on the smaller end of the egg (the part with NO air sac) I can see a small bit of yellow poking through the shell. The understanding of the process I had was that the duckling pierced the air sac and then when all of the air out of there was gone, they pocked through the shell and breathed the air outside the shell. Any ideas on what is happening? Also, does any one know how long they are ment to take to hatch after the first crack?
Thanks!!
