Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

Beak is pecking!

Make sure I have my terminology right - pipped? I noticed the CRACK last night. When you say pipped, do you mean when he poked his beak into the air sac? He didn't - his head is at the point of the egg, but the air sac IS at the round end! He's a mess!

Sorry, guess I should have said "pipped externally"

, that I was I would call a crack.

#10 operation about to begin to peel so we can see what is going on inside.

 

[Lacrystol]

Is he making any sounds or is he so stuck he can't move his beak to talk??

 

[AnimalQuackers]

#10 is peeping. Oh no some blood.

Ok as long as he is peeping, leave that end alone, go to the opposite side where the air cell is, now this is where it get EXTEMEMLY tricky
