VWduckchick,
Love your peeps jumping on their egg shells, where did you get them from?

You must be on mobile. They are available on desktop, or you can type the code for them on mobile.

Type a colon then jumpy.

Great!

How many more hatchers desiree?

 

[Desiree1]

so far I only have 2. I have one that pipped about 20 or 21 hours ago at the wrong end of the shell and he has made absolutely no progress. I can see his dick moving so I know he's breathing but he's still exactly the same as he was

 

[WVduckchick]

Can you get a pic? Sometimes wrong end pippers can make it on their own, but alot of times they need help.

 

[Desiree1]

I just open the shell of tiny little bit because it's been so long but left the membrane alone. I have an errand to run and should be back in a few hours and I will check the progress. How long should I wait before I try to open the shell for him

 

[WVduckchick]

Well that's a tough call. If the membrane looks ok, and the chick is still active, I'd wait at least 24 hours. Have you read the hatching 101 article? It has suggestions and pics related to malpositions. I'll post a link. Take a look at it when you get a chance, if it doesn't progress on its own soon.
