Hands on hatching and help

[jenniferlamar70]

So I should just leave it and see what happens, I hope i didn't ruin it by chipping away some of the shell

Personally I wouldn't move in until it was last resort. I also read different beeds of ducks can take longer. I'd wait to be safe. Good luck.

LOL This is one reason I don't do ducks. Takes longer incubation and then can take double as long to go from internal to external and external to zip. I'd be a nervous wreck.

bad enough with the chickens, trying to decide if I should go get a bottel or some superglue here, trying to keep occupied

I have to post something here JUST so next year when I think I am going to decide to hatch eggs...I can find this thread.....To remind me how stressful and crazy nuts it will make me.


Thanks.

I wish you the best of luck!

Whoever is hatching ducks -- mallard derived ducks take longer to zip from external pip than chickens do. 40+ hours is not uncommon! You can be waiting 2 full days on them. Patience is much more difficult, but necessary! Please don't rush them.
