Looks normal to me, the membrane still looks good not dry so that is a big plus. Thats one reason not to open bator lid if humidity drops membrane dries and starts to look papery then duckling won't be able to break out. Have you ever open a duck egg, very tough it will take a while before you see the duckling. one reason not to help is the baby is absorbing all blood veins and yolk if you assist before it is actually ready you could hit a blood vessel and cause the duckling to bleed out or rupture the yolk. Just try to relax and DON"T sit in front of the bator, try and find something to do, keep giving updates especially if you feel something is wrong, that way those that have experience with assisting hatches can jump in and help you.I went to the incubator to turn the other eggs while I left the one farthest along alone, & I noticed a dark smudge looking thing on it :
Any idea of what this is? The baby inside is still chirping like usual and it is still pecking at its shell.
I think (and I am no expert), that the baby pecked enough through the first layer of the egg and now working on the shell.
Any ideas of what it is, PLEASE tell me.
Thanks.
