For those of you that help "stuck" chicks hatch. How long after pipping do you wait to help ducklings?

Ducks take WAY longer to hatch! Sit on your hands.

Me too! What kind of chickens do you keep? I'm guessing Silkies...

I better stay away from ducks then, I don't think I have that much patience. What do they do in there for 3 days? I wonder what they are thinking, maybe trying to decide if it's a good idea to come out?

They tend to pip internally, then take 24 hours for external pip, then rest for 24 hours while absorbing yolk & veins, then take another 12-24 hours to zip & fully hatch. Duckies take their sweet time. It's best to just not even be home while they are hatching...LOL
