Newibe: One Duck started pipping earlier

Keep the area moist because he may get glued in that portion of the shell. With that much of an assist completed he may not be able to finish on his own. You may want to slowly finish it.

It came fully out of the egg about an hour ago.. he seems a little bit weaker than the first one

Check to make sure that the membrane is not completely dried and stuck to it you may want to take a eyedropper and put a little water on it so that it can remove itself from the shell.

That's not uncommon. Keep an eye on him and you can look to also give some chick rescue. He should be fine in a few hours. If not let us know.

he came out fine, the 3rd has done the external pipping at the pointy end and its day 31!

That guy may need help. I have had a few pip at the wrong end. I always let them try but none of mine have ever been able to zip. Keep a close eye on him.

Had to help the 3rd one and the outer membran was really dry and had shrink wrapped. Again under the heat lamp and left with 1/2 of the egg on him, a little more blood ths time but i think in the breach position, that was a certainly. Hes sleeping atm, just needs to push now!
