RED ALERT!

Mallard duck eggs due the 18th and were supposed to have lockdown Saturday have pipped just now >.<

Was about to candle when I heard peeping noises, and then saw pips... Candled JUST to make sure and they have internally pipped and I see the beak....

Took incubator off the turner and bumped the humidity to 65

They are due in 5 days...
Will they be okay?

Btw all 3 that were due the 18th have pipped, not just one..

WOW?!? Oh my?!! I don't know about ducks but I'm pretty sure that if anything hatches that early it's not a good sign... Maybe you counted the days wrong? Wow. Good luck Lapaysannefarm. O.O

I had 1 chick hatch today from the 3 eggs that my broody was sitting on. It's a barred rock blue copper marans cross.

3Dchicken, these eggs grew extremely quickly.. It's dont think I counted wrong ugh.
I might "cap " them ( crack a large chicken egg and duck tape it onto their egg to keep them and make an air hole...) I don't know...

 

[3Dchicken]

How would that help them? Wouldn't that just annoy them and stress them out further??

That is a really cute fuzzy bum, TinTennessee!!!

congratulations of everyone who hatched, who is hatching, and who is in lockdown!!!!!!.......took me a couple of days to come back but here i am, just went to lockdown on my remaining six out of 60+ this morning.....i just candled my production red 60+ eggs due on the 21st and they look good....after almost a year with my fridgebator i decided a couple days ago to dump it at a recycable yard and started working on another homemade with automatic egg turner and just finished it today....i took everything apart of my fridgebator and added them to my mini homemade bator with a capacity of 140 eggs, while i was regulating the temp on my newone i added a small heater to my fridgebator to maintain the temp on the eggs i had, once temp regulated i transfered my eggs to the new bator and its doing fine after 8 hrs of keeping an eye on it. i built it completely from old junk i had at hand. the motor for the turner i took it from one of those dears used for christmas ornaments that lower their heads as if they were eating and worked great. another thing is that eventhough i had no hatches on the 8th, i just received my ideal poultry order:65 black broilers and 20 asorted bantams.....so this is what ive done in the last couple of days.....i'll head out to my coop and take some pics of the baby chicks i received and my new homemade incubator......ill be back in a couple of minutes.......congratulations everyone......

I think it would keep them in, I don't what to do, that would be my last resort. I geuss I'll just watch them for now!

Ohhh I hope they make it!

I shall be waiting for pictures! Btw, when should you be able to hear them peeping? Do the shells wiggle before you can hear peeping? I am so excited! I am so close to hatching!! AHH

I think I'll just go to bed and wait for the morning to come. XD

The last few days suck!! My friends who are getting any roos I hatch are crossing their fingers and freaking out too.
