Hatching egg issue! Help!!

[cskotek]

Today is when my first egg was to hatch. Well it started to and made a hole and the egg was like slightly wiggleing. But when I went to check on it after work (12 hours later after the 1st time when I checked on it) The hole is larger but the hole seems hallow. When I put a light onto it I can see the opposite side of the hole there are veins and a sack like thing. When I put the light under the egg and rotate it the light dont go threw. Can it be really shrink wrapped anyone know whats going on and what should I do???!!!

By removing it while it was pipped, you may have done more harm than good. I would wrap the egg in a warm moist paper towel and leave it alone. From pip to hatch for a duck egg can take up to 48 hours.

I didnt remove it, its still in the egg, the hole is like small but big enough I can see nto it so I was useing a light to see why there was no beak pokeing threw.. I dont know if anyone else was in the incubator while i was at work It makes me really sad. And I made sure that today was the 28 days and it would have been so this morning. It started to like wiggle (the egg) last night woke up and it was a small hole and came home bigger hole, no beak of feathers pokeing threw which is why I looked wth a flash light... When you tilt the egg I can see a liquid moving while i turn it....... Its so strange!!! ((

It takes nerves of steel to hatch eggs, and I pray that things start looking up with this hatch.

Removing eggs from the bator once they should be in lockdown can result in higher number of shrink wrapped and or dead hatchlings. Once you hit three days before the due date you are to stop turning, increase humidity and NOT open the bator at all. They need the elevated humidity to aid in hatching. Feel free to check out our farms website. We have a page on trouble shooting, and when to ot when not to assist.

So sorry, and hoping for the best for the next one.

I thought your muscovy duck was sitting on eggs? or do I have you confused with someone else?

The eggs where all duds argh, worse hatch ever in my book -.- I am going to check the thermometer with another to make sure its working and a hydrometer

She was, but they didnt hatch, I had 2 runner eggs under her and just tonight I picked up a pair thats 4 yr old and the female lays fertile eggs and sits on them so I'm going to hope the best with that.
argh..
