How much longer? ** Pictures**

[ZoeS95423]

Okay,
So I have posted on here a few times regarding my duckies.

I am wondering, I have had one hatching, since about 24 hours ago, you can see its beak, and one of its feet, but its been like this for almost 12 hours..
Its trying to get out, but hasnt been making any progress at all.

Also, one of my other eggs, was pipped, and was peeping for a bit, and shook so much it flipped itself over ( pip on bottom) and now it hasnt made any noise... no shaking.. no progress.

How much longer do you guys think these little guys will take?

I can't tell you how long it will take but if you're considering helping them out, this is a very informative post on how to do it safely.

Good luck!

I've had ducklings take 24hours. They tend to be harder to hatch than chickens for me at least.

 

[ZoeS95423]

well his beak has been sticking out and one of his feet for over 24 hours... are his feet supposed to be by his beak?
Also the membrane stuff is like brown, is it supposed to be

 

[FeatheredObsessions]

Brown? probably drying up? Does he seem to be moving frequently and still trying or does he look like he's giving up? Do you see any red blood?

 

[ZoeS95423]

I dont see any blood, and he has been trying, he has been in this same position for over 24 hours, hasnt given up yet, but isnt making any progress.

At this point I would help. If you don't surely it will die and if you do help it still may die but at least you would give it your best shot.

I would try to help too. Slowly. If you see it bleed stop for 20 min and try again
