Pekins Pipped on Day 24, no activity in the past 19 hours

I just hatched out 15/15 ducklings, 2 pekins. From pip to zip to out for some of my ducklings was 42 hours. As long as you hear peeping or tapping everything is fine. I did pick up all my eggs and tap on them to get a tap back. It was very hard to not intervene.
 
The first one hatched out this morning at 4:00 am ... Yayyyy!!!!! .... which means 30 hours from pip to hatch. And, we had 11 others hatch throughout the day, the latest about 20 minutes ago, which puts it almost right at the 42 hour mark!! ... Looks like a magic number here :) Sadly, it appears that we have lost one :-( ... this afternoon I picked up the remaining 6 and did the tap test. I got a response from all of them but one, so I believe it didn't make it. The last three are SLOWLY making their way out and I'm trying so hard to not get in there!!!

Awesome, congrats on the new additions! :) Some just take a little longer than others, so just be patient for those last few to make it out.
