Help! duck egg day 29, no pipping - pic included... getting anxious

[Kiki]

My incubator just shipped!!

They are all so pretty, are cayugas hard to hatch?

I did not find them any harder to hatch than my Welsh. But all mine were shipped eggs or strange shaped eggs so I got good at doing assisted hatching, as several were malpositioned. But they are all happy ducklings now and I only lost one that hatched out with assisting.

I’m doing the salt test for the hygrometers. Do I put the bowls and the hygrometer in a large ziplock bag together or the hygrometer in a ziplock Next to free standing salt slurry? Is it okay if I use plastic bowl? Tia

My first brooder was one of those 18" high panels connected with the plastic rings. Thankfully in the garage. Imagine my surprise when I went in on day 7 and none of the 25 turkeys were in the brooder, they were everywhere... All my brooders now have tops.

I say 7-10 days, so the procrastinators (like me!) get the full experience.

Everything in the same bag, or anything fully seal-able with no leaks. Just don't let the slurry touch the hygrometer.
The red link in my signature has some instructions and pics.

They are going outside in the real quail cage today.
The box container already seems too small on day 3.

I lied. I just can't put them out yet.

Im going to move them to a bigger bird cage today. This container is just too small for me. It worked fine for the first two days but they need more room to zoom around.
