HELP!!!!! When to interfere?????

[babylady4]

Ok, call duck egg has pipped the air cell as of last night but no pip in the shell. I am debating if I should drill a hole in the shell for it.

Egg should hatch on Monday (day 26).

Any clacking sound inside? I would consider putting a small pip hole in to make sure it does not suffocate.

No clacking but in the last however many hours the baby made his own pip hole so all is well so far! Thanks!

Sometimes all we need is patience..... very hard to find it while waiting for a duckling to hatch though. : )

my last call egg took almost 38 hours-it had a decent pip but was shrink wrapping just a little-I wrapped it a wet towel and left it overnight. I was just about to help him today when I notice he finally was zipping, he was out it about 10 min after that. Had 4 eggs, 3 hatched-all grey calls. 1st 2 on thursday together in almost the same minute then 1 today. Everyone is doing great-good luck to you

I picked the shell away from the pip so the poor little guy could breath a bit better. It looks like there is still a lot of blood in the membrane so I am not going to do anything else right now. Humidity is up to 75% so I do not think it is too dry in there yet. Since they take longer to hatch I am trying to keep my hands out of there........ I just go in once in a while and talk to it and check to see if it is still ok.
