Is something wrong with this baby

[MelissaF]

So this baby is due Wednesday. He alive and moving well, but look at all this room at the bottom of this egg. Anyone know what I should expect?

There are a few Stickies (see link at top of Duck Forum) on hatching, and @Marty1876 and @Lacrystol and several others are hatchers.

Does this mean it's going to die or be deformed?

I think it is just a little one. you might have to keep it in the incubator a little longer but I think its going to be ok.

Did something in the Stickies sound like that? It doesn't look that different from the photo's in the hatching sticky. And the photo is of a healthy developing hatchling.

Here is one of the threads in the Stickies section

Looks sticky to me what was or is your humidity at???

Could be underdeveloped, which means it likely wouldn't make it. Hard to tell for sure with just a pic, though. Any updates since today was the expected hatch date?

he passed, he died in the egg, the other one pipped over 24 hrs ago. She's peeping and working so now I'm just waiting

24 hours is a long time, you may want to help a little. perhaps it's struggling because it's sticky too..

So sorry about the little guy. :/

Has the other one started to "unzip" at all yet? Or has she just made the first little pip hole? She should have made some progress by now. Can you post a pic? Is the membrane dried out where she has pipped (brown/tan in color)?
