Ok, so I've taken a video and something (beak, foot?? Not sure) is pushing hard & quick on the membrane.

I can't see the video, where did you upload it to? I usually use youtube but I know there are a bunch of other sites you can use as well.
Sounds like there is progress though

Donna may have already shared this with you but there is a pretty good picture of an internal pip in this article.

Ok thanks. I'll check it out. Now, if she Did internally pip, wouldnt I see her beak through the homeade hole?

I'm not sure if you would see it through the hole you made but you would be able to see the bill in the air sac during candling.

The video I saw you took she didnt look like she had gone into the air sac yet but was trying to.

great movement!
I’m a little concerned about the yellowish fluid, but I think it’s still got a couple days to go. A couple times in the video, it looked like it may have broken the membrane. Next chance you get, run your flashlight all the way around the rim of the air cell, trying to create a shadow.
This is one of mine that was internally pipped.

Also, candle the pointy end of the egg and let us know what it looks like — fully dark or do you see a pocket of fluid?

Ok, so I just recorded a video. It looks almost all dark on that end, but yes, I see a yellowish fluid on edge of the baby/air sac. I can record again with the circle of light around the edge. Now, I made a tiny Emergency hole over the weekend (I read and read and thought I shouldve.....sorry) I barely see inside but..... I see the membrane. Whiteish tint but you can see a pinkish tint through it? Hard to explain. But it's not skin tight, it looks wrinkled in some areas, I guess where it is up against the duckling?? Also, what would be bright yellow/orange right now. Are they born with the beak that color?? I see a bright yellow orange shape (beak maybe?) up against the side. The videos look.awful compared to what I see. The darkish tint on edge of air sac is a shadow, not liquid.... (not sure how clear video is on your end.) My videos dont post on here for some reason tho

If she would have internally pipped tho, wouldnt I see the beak through the hole? I see Nothing but membrane, and I've heard Nothing

You wouldn’t necessarily see the beak thru your hole. The yellowish fluid suggests that it still has some growing time to go. Did you mention what kind of incubator you are using? Did you confirm the temperature with a thermometer that was verified accurate?

Ok. So, I was lead to believe originally that ducks dont usually go broody until 1-2 years. I also never knew about them just getting up. So I went in emergency mode when I saw her up for over 30minutes, then an hour & so on. I made my homeade incubator. Ordered everything else on amazon (2day shipping) I have a mercury thermometer, and ordered the digital thermometer with humidity percentage. Been working off of those. I cant guarantee that they are 100% accurate but hoped the mercury one was closest at least. Normally, I'm a researcher to the max and dont jump into anything until I have a great idea of what I'm doing with prepared materials. This was a complete surprise all the way around so I apologize for looking awful in this.
