Help with duck eggs (Day 27)

Not sure if you would call it a zip yet now that i really look at it. It’s make more dents then it’s initial pip though.

It’s a mix of cayuga welsh rouen khaki and golden 300. I’ll attach some pics in a sec

Yeah, pics would greatly help here.

Yeah that's not zipping. This is zipping.

The pips on yours look a bit dry. Try upping the humidity to 75%.
Also, I never lower the temp at hatch. It seems to slow them down if you do, actually.

Ok thank you so much!! Takes some stress off of me. Ok, so increase humidity to 75% and increase temp back up to 99.5??

It's generally advised to not let a zip stall for more than 30 minutes (some say an hour). I'll tag one of our hatching experts

Thanks for the tag, Heather!
