NO MOVEMENT IN DUCK EGG DAY 27

[ILikeChickenNuggets]

Hello
My indian runner ducks are set to hatch tommorrow, but I have a problem.
I have two eggs in the incubator, and one of them, has already made a crack with its beak, and is moving. The other egg has NOT made any crack, and by candling it from outside the incubator, it doesn't seem to me moving. My incubator is transparent, so a flashlights light is able to pass through the lid. I am able to see the air sac, but there is no movement at all. I candled it yesterday, and it was moving! But it unfortunately isn't today. Do you think its dead?

@WVduckchick I say leave it alone but lets see what WVduckchick says. She's the expert!

Leave it because they sleep lots before hatching completely..Its a long process with Ducklings..Best wishes.

At the end you cannot see a lot of movement. I hatched a few eggs a couple months ago and could not see any of them moving towards the end when candled, but all of them were alive and hatched successfully!

I agree with the others. Just hang in there. Ducks are slow at hatching, and rest a lot. Congrats on the first pip!
