Fear not, it's not dripping and I won't be touching him for another 24-48 hours. Looks worse in the picture.

Next thing I'm gonna do is move him to the RCOM incubator, but I have to clean it first, it's pretty dirty! Will also candle and see what the fat end looks like.

Aww!


Update-at 24 hours after making the air hole I started chipping back till it could see the bill. He was positioned correctly but upside down (pecking under the egg rather than the top) and he'd pipped through a small vein and bled a little. I chipped away the shell from the air sac and wet the membranes every two hours. He got his head out but seems very weak. I have him on a paper towel propped up in the incubator since I (apparently) do not own a cup that will fit in the bator.

Not quite sure where to go from here. He was a little gooey but only on one side (that sides feathers are all stuck in bunches now while the other has fluffed up). Just seems so weak.

For those who incubate duck eggs, and weigh them for weekly humidity loss checks, how strict is that 2.8% weekly guideline?
