Poll: Are they alive?

[Theeggboxtoo]

I had 10 duck eggs in the incubator, 4 have hatched, 3 are alive. There is 6 eggs left and no pips, are they dead? They all candled well and looked really good, should I be worried?

The ones that are out are healthy and happy.

I would chip open the end with air cell and help them out. They might be weak and tired of trying to hatch out. Just chip egg open on air cell end, and pull membrane back from ducks nostrils. Let them rest a bit and gradually free their head and shoulders and let them finish hatching out on their own...good luck!

How long has it been? Some eggs just need to wait another day or two. Have patience.

The first one hatched on day 26 and both of the others hatched on day 27

What day is it now? If it is just a day later, I'd still wait.
