First hatch of the year.

[chatty kathy]

On of waddles eggs were sitting in a puddle of blood. She had pushed it out from under herself. It was not peeping any longer and the egg was stone cold. I took the baby out of the shell. It was 3/4 of the way off already. I warmed it by bringing it into the house and placing it under a heat lamp. I hope it will be ok. It still acts as if it is in the egg. Any suggestions?

Just keep doing what you're doing. Keep it warm and wet with some warm water, a few paper towels and the heat lamp.

if it starts to come around and will drink something. Try sugar water. I had a duck that wasn't doing well after it hatched and sugar water helped alot.

Thanks. How old are they when they should be standing

They should be trying to stand shortly after hatching

I lost one egg!!!
So I have two eggs left there both peeping and they have been peeping since this morning, but with no external pips.
Does that seem normal?
I would think by now I would at least have an external pip

Jippee
It can take up to 24 hrs to pip externally. Hatching is a good exercise in patience.

Ha, I have no patience!!!
