Help! first time hatching!

[Lacrystol]

Well let me just make a small comment, I don't try to intervene or be a 'known it, nor do I need to prove anything to anyone, I was referred and I appreciate that person for doing so.. my crudentails are in previous posts on many many many babies that I have managed to successful help escape (sort of speaking)on errors that have been made. I will not turn anyone down. But I will not be criticized. so I think from here on if someone needs help or some advise just PM me..
Thanks for the opportunity..
Good luck...

I really appreciate ALL the help I can get, it's a scary first hatch for me but I accept responsibility for the fate of these duckies as it will be my decisions that will ultimately determine such fate, so thanks to all for taking time out to help out and hope to continue to receive help to see it through

Just saw some eggs wiggle

shadowing!!!

take a look at this pic, you will see three different colors, a white color Thats on top, then a dark gray color in the middle, then at the bottom a black color.

Your baby is at the black part on the bottom, the dark grayish color is your baby pushing the membrane trying to break threw to get to the white part, his air cell....they do this in order to internally pip, now it does take them some time, unlike chickens diucks can take hours even days.

This baby is getting ready to make NOISE!!! If we are on day 24 I would say he is ON SCHEDULE...

He's already dipped..

Have you raised your humidty up to 60-65???

 

[rcrisantos]

Yea that's what it looks like, like the grayish stuff is fluid

It's actually going up by itself ?? Right now it's at 60
I did notice the eggs got "sweaty" though

Fluids is a different thing, does that grayish part move around when you move the egg in different positions??

Like its a ball of water or does it look like the baby is pushing on it?

It shouldn't be moving around like a puddle of water, that's very bad...
