Hatching 16 duck eggs

[DingusDuck]

Day 3-2, lockdown. Yesterday I did not see movement, although that does not mean they are dead. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Ok really good news, it's day 2 and I see 2 eggs cracked open a bit. I heard peeping I think. I think they might hatch very soon

 

[DingusDuck]

Alright this isn't great news, I think most of them are dead and one of the ones that piped are dead too. One of the piped ones are still speaking. Should I help him? I candled some eggs, even though it's lockdown to see what's going on. Most haven't piped at all and no movement. On of them how even I saw no air sack, so maybe it piped internal, should I try to help it, I didn't see movement

I'm also wondering why that one died, it made a holes and then sat for a while. Then today I noticed no movement, adventully I opened it up and still no movement, it was dead and still had a yolk sack.

When you candled it did you see veins?

Is he peeping? If he is dose he sound weak or strong? Can you see his bill?

I can seem his bill and hear him. His peep is loud but kinda makes me think he's in distress, he was also breathing heavily.

It's not constant peeping only every once in a while. I worry he might starve as the 5 day delay.
