Help with hatching Call Duck eggs - internally pipped 28+hrs

[Fields Mountain Farm]

Ravyn and Pyxis may not be on till a little later, but I think it's ok. And I would leave em be for now.
Also, I think @WVduckchick may be around, she's great too! She may be able to give you advice on weather or not to mess with another air hole.

Hi!
Sounds like they are progressing... just slower than we humans like. They can be so lazy and make us impatient. The pine bedding looks nice and deep, so I would expect they are ok. I wouldn't make any additional holes.

Beautiful adults, by the way. Looking forward to seeing the adorable littles!

I now have two that have zipped almost all of the way. They are moving and chirping. There are also two that no longer have any movement or noise. Should I take these inside to see if they need some help?

Awesome! You might want to pop the top off on the ones that have zipped; I've had them get stuck like before and it won't hurt to take it off at this point.

The ones that aren't moving or chirping, I would bring inside and investigate, yes.

I took the top off of the one that was zipped and he popped right out. But Mama came in and started attacking him. I snatched him up and brought him inside. He is currently in the incubator a little wobbly but doing okay. Does he need to stay in the incubator or can he go to the brooder? And what are the best incubator temps and humidity right now

Should I watch tho see if mama attacks the other chick too, or just bring it in to open the top?

Can you do it in front of her? See how she reacts?

 

[Chickaroo73]

Yes. That's what I did with the first, but i can let her try again.
