I have to say, that amount of blood especially as seen in the background of the second pic, would be very concerning to me.

Also, any idea why so many are hatching bloody?

Didn't see the 2nd pic... Will go back and look.

Will my duckies be ok? With all this movement and they are supposed to be on lockdown.

Not really sure. Not much movement just breathing hard and laying ther.

Some take a lot longer than others before they are up and moving. I would expect a hatchling that had a hard hatch to take longer.

I don't know ANYTHING! This whole process was for my daughter. She wanted to hatch chickens and ducks for her science project. I have homes for them as of tomorrow, but for now, I am doing this with BYC support!

Depends where it's coming from. If it's from the umbilicus it can be improper temps or humidity. If I remember right, these hatchlings are three days late which is a signifier temps have been off.
If it's from active veining then they hatching before ready.

Everything I have done thus far has been through TONS of research.

I don't even know what that is, so no. They've all been hatching alone. I can try and take a pic from the inside of the egg...

Sugar water is good enough.

They were late. They are at 100.8' now. Crazy chick knocked over the water. Can I open and refill? Will that affect the chicks? I am sure I need more.

Btw, 5/6 just pipped. I'm feeling overwhelmed.

Popping over here from the incubating thread. You've gotten a lot of good advice from folks who have experience assisting. I know it's anxiety provoking. Just thought I'd offer a hug.
