They are very cute! Two of them didn't make it

but i have 8 that have successfully hatched now with one remaining in the incubator that has pipped and started to zip

. So overall 9 out of 11 is GREAT to me!!

I never would have thought duck eggs would take that long from pip to zip

. Definitely a completely different experience from chicken eggs. Thanks everyone for the help!

Wow - thats a great result

Yes ducks do take longer to finally emerge and really test your nerves
