Help! My duck eggs aren’t pipping...

[addymurley]

Hello, in desperate need of some advice, I’ve have nine welsh harlequin eggs in my incubator currently on day 28 and none of them have pipped externally and I’m not sure they’ve even pipped internally yet... I candled two this morning to see if they’d pipped internally but there was no obvious beak, only some shadow and movement (like the baby was still trying to break into the air sac) out of my nine eggs 5 are currently moving and rocking around, just very unsure what to do and if/how to help. The temperature is currently 99.5 and humidity between 65-70 if that helps. Any advice would be appreciated!! Thank you

Try not to help unless it’s absolutely necessary. I’m not really sure as i don’t have experience with duck eggs, good luck and hope all goes well!

Hello - I know this is an old post but I’m in the same boat with 5 duck eggs on day 28 and I don’t think any have pipped internally and none have pipped externally. What happened with your eggs? I candled and know they are alive but there’s little movement in the eggs and I’m not sure if I should intervene or not.
