Hello
I have 2 duck eggs in the incubator that mean a lot to me, the last of the batch of fertile eggs from our drake that sadly met his end with a fox. I don't wanna lose these two
They have both pipped around 12 hours ago. One had started zipping when I went to bed but hours later I woke up expecting a duckling and still no joy.
I got the coconut oil and tweezers and pulled some of the shell away and it was chirping and looking like it was breathing deeply which I assume is still ingesting. There was a secondary membrane a little further around down past the air bubble membrane that had blood vessels so I've moistened it all with oil and left it to do it's thing. Do I need to keep assisting now or will she be ok now that some of the hard work had been done for her . I started to help a little because the other thread I read they should've hatched within the hour of starting to zip.
Thanks for your advice.
