Hatching duckling problem

[shawluvsbirds]

I actually gave her the eggs because I couldn't break her broodiness. I was taking the eggs right when she layed them, tear up her nest, took away the nesting material and put a net over the spot she chose, but it didn't stop her. She was sitting on top of the net and would ran right back when I put her of to eat. I tried everything because I really didn't want ducklings, but at the end I felt like I have no choice, she was very skinny and weak, so I gave up. I don't think she would survive sitting on the nest much longer

Wow. That's one extreme broody.

Yes she really is. Next year she definately gets suprelorin, I'm not doing it again.
Thank you for helping, really. I will let you know how it went in the morning, fingers crossed.

Well thank you I don't think I helped you much, but I tried!

The duckling is still alive! It's still the same as yesterday, looks like it is resting and hetting ready for the next step. I'l leave it alone for a couple more hours and hopefully it will hatch on its own

@MGG I think this hatch is going good, what about you?

Keep us posted on your hatch. Shaw has given you wonderful advice.

I will, right now there is still no change. How long can it stay that way?

Finally something is happening It made another crack right next to the hole and is nibbling on the shell.
How fast should I expect it to hatch?
Here is a picture of the egg:

Ohh, exciting! It should hatch soon, I have never incubated eggs, only had a broody, so I wouldn't know how long it would take.

That is good news that means it is able to turn to zip.
Could still be several more hours but that is progress!
