Please help! I have 4 duck eggs. One of them externally pipped and took 48 hours to start making progress. Shortly after this, the duck died, so I think I should have intervened earlier.
Right now, only one of the three has externally pipped. He pipped about 18 hours ago, but hasn’t made progress since. I chipped away at the pieces around the pip, and it doesn’t seem like he has actually pierced the membrane. What should I do?
The other two eggs have movement when candles, and the cast a bit of a shadow, but it looks as if they are only pressing up against the membrane inside and not actually internally pipped. Do I still make a safety hole? I’m really worried. This is the first time I’ve ever hatched my own eggs.
