Yes, Lock it down. Some take longer and some want to get out fast. LOL

Make sure to up the humidity a LOT. My biggest problem with hatching ducks is the membrane will dry out and they will die. Also, you need to check on them every once in a while to make sure they are pipping on the top, and if they aren’t, turn them over.

I added like a cup of water (both trays) and there is a little crack/dent at the top!!!!

Just make sure they are all right side up. Good luck with your babies!!!

And after you do the humidity and lockdown, sit on your hands and wait (this is the hardest part).

They are laying on their sides (I don’t have a turner)and pipped on the big side

It happens. Could mean your temp was a bit high. Around here we name anybody who hatches days early “PITA”.
