Late Eggs?

[Crayonsmom]

I'm getting discouraged about my 3 duck eggs in the incubator.

I'm pretty sure they were supposed to hatch yesterday. We did notice the eggs moving pretty noticeably, but nobody pipped as far as I can tell, and there was no movement today. How many more days should I wait before calling it quits? I'm still really hoping for at least one to hatch and will be disappointed if none of them do, but this certainly isn't encouraging.

I know nothing about ducks, but I do know that no matter what kind of

egg it is, some hatch late. If you were seeing movment yesterday, Somthing

BIG would of had to happen in order to kill them all so quick, all at the

same time. What day are you on?

The humidity is very important. It needs to be 75% to 80%. Try spaying the eggs with a spray bottle BUT not cold water and don't leave the incubator open too long.

actually, a lot of times if humidity is too high, chicks will die right before hatching, it doesnt necessarily mean that there was a big problem with the incubator.
