OK! I have five out and no more pips that I can see (

)

Three that are black and white, and TWO silver / blue ones!


I had to help the other little silver and blue on out and Im glad I did. BUT - Im thinking it is where he absolbed the yolk ( he absorbed it all ) but his bottom is bald, and there is a little protrusion that Im guessing is the picky hole ( excuse my lack of technical terms, tired beyond belief ) but it is sticking out - WHat am I looking at? There is a white substance on it as well.

I have had to "hand hatch" some of mine before when they cannot hatch. mostly due to the fact that humidity was interrupted by opening the door to often. anyway i would hatch the duckling by hand and try to remove the stuck portion by washing the duckling under the faucet with WARM water. hold the duck under the running tap (without drowning it) and gently rub what seems to be stuck until it loosens. then, dab the duckling dry and place it either back in the hatching tray or brooder to fully dry. this is the way i have done it. but every situation is different. hatching is kind of natures way of testing them. i prefer to hatch them by hand before i risk a "starve out."
