Hands on hatching and help

[newchickmama91]

Your soo lucky! Mine are taking forever to zip lol! Can't wait to see them!


Aww I love silkies so much lol! They are all gorgeous!

Seems to be stuck I think these are sticky ducklings that's why I'm having problems. Had one pip with bubbles coming out of the hole so I took it out opened the pip and it was coming from its mouth

Oh know thats not good at all. If the one zipping stalled I would go ahead and help it out. The bubbles could be a bacterial infection. I'm not sure though. I've not had that happen..

It seems ok now I turned the egg so it's bill is facing down incase anything was in its nostrils the bubbles are gone and it's peeling like the others. The one zipping still has a tiny bit of yolk so I'm gently rubbing coconut oil on the bits that are stuck to it. Going to be a long night I can't sleep when hatching starts

Peeping not peeling

Bubbles in nose/mouth can happen when the egg has not lost enough moisture and has breathed in the fluid.

Thats good to know. How can you tell if they are losing enough moisture?

Thats scary.. Did it live?

Actually, it did. It also had bubbles coming out of it's nose, so I thought for sure it would die.

Ones hatched!!!! It had one dried bit of membrane stopping it from kicking out so I gently cut it with tweezers and it fell out into my hand!! Yay I finally hatched a duck
