Appreciate the vote of confidence, but there are other capable helpers too.

Thanks everyone! I opened up a hole in the membrane and ducky seems most appreciative. Chirping now and still taking in the yolk. Opened up a safety hole in my other egg and an additional egg which had internally pipped over 24 hours ago. All 3 doing well. Have a 4th egg which is almost internally pipped and I’ll open a safety hole for it too when it’s time. Everyone tucked back into the bator and chirping away. Thank u! I’d have dead duckies if it wasn’t for you guys. I’ll post pics when the hatch is complete.

looking forward to seeing the little ones. Oh and there are many seasoned hatchers on BYC that I would trust to give me all the help I would need for hatching or any other issues. We have a great family of experience here.

Any progress?

They haven’t done anything on their own and seemed distressed, so I opened shell up over their bills and they seemed much happier. Still acting like they are absorbing yolk, so I’m in no hurry now that they all have at least a safety hole.
