Just Candled ;-) & more drawback from the more pokey egg.
Think I saw her starting to work on the internal pip.

I'm feeling a little better they are getting there.

So after 4+ days of one of my babies trying to hatch, I finally had to get in there and help him out! I made sure the humidity was super high all morning and wrapped a wet paper towel around the egg. It worked great! A few hours later I was able to get the shell off successfully without harming the duckling. Poor little guy was so weak though much much much weaker than my the ones that hatched in good time. He has a very crooked neck, can't walk well, and seems to have a nonfunctional wing. But boy does he make up for all that in character!! We have named him Trooper because he's been such a trooper! Any suggestions on anything I might do to help him? I have heard of adding Brewers yeast to their food

I'd try some nutri drench or poly vi sol (w/o Iron).

I need some help! It's day 22 (almost 23) and my eggs have not even pipped. They were all great going into lockdown. I even saw a few moving really early today. However, now all moving has stopped for the past 8 hours. There are no pips or peeps, nothing. I'm becoming very worried and don't know what to do. Should I candle to see if they're alive?
