Hands on hatching and help

[LilyD]

Hatching Muscovy eggs and not entirely sure of the date they are on in incubation. I know that when I went to candle them on day 32 I had 6 that had already internally pipped so I moved them into the hatcher, humidity at 72 currently it's pouring outside and been a high humidity incubation all month. Day 33 and we have 7 eggs internally pipped. I went ahead and added the safety hole on the ones that had pipped. Two other eggs are still moving but don't seem as far along as these guys. Wondering if they were already incubated for a day or two before I got them and were closer to day 34/35. I currently have live feed going on Vimeo so I can watch them without hovering over the incubator 24/7 lol.

My question is how long do I wait before starting to assist further. They are currently supposed to be on day 33 until tomorrow night but I don't think anyone told these eggs lol. Safety hole was made around 8:30 Wed night.

Well I guess I should have said tonight lol. Didn't realize it was after 3am when I typed this lol.

I don’t usually safety hole until 24 hours after internal pip and then I wait to assist more until after it’s been 24 hours since the external pip

I had duck eggs that took almost 48 hours to hatch afternoon external pipping and I barely assisted them much

Okay that's what I did they were internally pipped at 8:30pm Tuesday night when I got home from work. Not sure how long they had been that way. I did the safety hole about 8:30-9pm last night. They have been rocking and cheeping since then but no other action.

The biggest issue is I'm not sure if they are further along then I thought. I was given the mom Muscovys and their eggs. I know at least 1/2 were sat on before I got there. They were in a nest but didn't show any growth before I put them in the incubator. The others she had in a carton in the house. So not sure but definitely 7 out of the 9 that made it to lock down are already internally pipped and cheeping. The other two seem further behind but they were laid in the car on the ride home lol.

Oh I hope so. I candled them on Wed to check progress and they still were moving but no pipping. My humidity has been running around 70ish since we have had almost non stop rain so even the air outside the incubator is high humidity.

How long have they been internally pipped for?
