:( I have two mallard eggs that just started to pip. I've already lost 2 eggs and do not want to lose the last 2. My temp is 95 and humidity is 71. I can hear them chirping and the eggs rock. How long is this process and when should I become concerned? I'm a first timer
 
Your temp is low - if you have a forced air incubator it should be around 99.5 degrees, and if you have still air it should be 101.5 measured at the top of the eggs. Humidity is okay. Ducks are notoriously slow hatchers - it can take 24 to 48 hours between the pip and when they zip out - so as long as your temperature and humidity are good and you can hear them peeping and such, you just have to wait. Sorry for your loss of the other eggs :hugs
