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

Thats a miracle!

I don't sleep when hatching either lol. I'm up all night checking on them lol


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


Thats scary.. Did it live?

By monitoring the air cells.

The seramas are starting to hatch

 

[newchickmama91]

Do ducklings take long getting up and going aswell? None of the 2 are up still led on their sides is that normal?

Most seem to be getting stuck to the shells this stuff is like glue. Think I will have to help them all out! I'll do the same as I done with the rest and take it nice and slow. When they finally get out can I bathe them in warm water to get it off?

More then likely that egg is bad. I've had them crack before they explode. Id candle it and if no sign of life remove it before it blows up..

A cracked egg can certainly be a bad egg, but if you candle it and see life, I would keep it. Also it should not be weeping or have anything coming out of it. I have had success with using wax dripped on an incubating egg over the crack, an the chick hatched and all is well. I've also had one go bad (but it was really damaged) I would candle and then decide.
