HELP NEEDED

[Lucygilbert25]

hi there

I’m day 29 of hatching Indian runner ducks, I have no movement or noise coming from the eggs. No obvious signs of pipping

I haven’t candled my eggs as my incubator is unstable with humidity I have to keep topit up with warm water every few hours or it drops to 54%.

They have been on lock down for 5 days now.

Are my ducklings ok? All my other candles I have had great movement.

I’m so worried as this is my first hatch

Candle an egg or two.
Opening the bator to do so quickly isn't going to ruin the hatch.

I’ve heard a cheep this afternoon, not all the time but I’ve heard it a couple of times

This would mean that someone has done an internal pip.

It will run out of air and die if you don't make a safety hole, eventually.
How long has it been since you heard it?

 

[Lucygilbert25]

I heard it about 15:30pm it is still cheeping in and off at the moment
