Hands on hatching and help

X2!

I have a broody who regularly stands up during hatch time... and stands the whole time, lol...

My OB tried that with me when my son was stuck. It didn't help, nor did the other 100 positions.

Okay... I just went outside and found an abandoned nest with 6-7 ice cold eggs, some pipped, some not. Got them in the incubator now warming up.

What kind?

What kind?

Muscovy! 3 of five pipped are out of their shells, two more pipped and alive, two are several days behind and I haven't checked them since I put them in , so no idea if they are alive or not.

Forgot to mention that there is no water in the incubator, lol. It's stuffed full of pea eggs and I running it dry this time hoping to get my hatch rate up.

This is what one of the eggs looked like. Something was nibbling on it's bill.
