Hatchalong! Setting Eggs April 6, 2012. Anyone else in?

[nickie]

Did any one else have anything hatch? The people that had Duck eggs anything yet? a wobble, a pip, or a chirp?

Just went into lockdown. 5 of 6 ducklings are in the air cell. Wobbles and peeping all around. #6 does not look hopeful. Small aircell, lost of space and fluid at the small end. Now I wait.

There weren't any internal pips when they went into lockdown, so I floated them and all three wiggled. So far nothing, their original hatch day is tomorrow, but I'm expecting them to be late since they had that long drop in temp. I will give them till Monday. Haven't heard a peep, but I've read that ducks don't peep as much as chicks before they hatch. Trying to stay positive! Either way my next batch will be here next week. Anyone want to plan a hatchalong? =]

I'm already started on another batch. They're due on the 20th.

Out of 22 fertile eggs, 1 chick. Reepacheep took about 3 hours from first pip to popping the top. Royal (the cat) is quite interested!!!








Yes, I was trying to take pictures in the bathroom mirror!!

Nothing from mine. I'm sad, but eager to try again.
