Hello,

I posted yesterday about my hatched duckling. Now I am worried about the other couple pips. One of the eggs pip'd yesterday afternoon and another one had a pip on the bottom of the egg. The hatched duckling may have pushed around the eggs while drying off in the incubator. I wish I knew more about hatching these. This was a friend emergency and I fell into this job on hatch day. When i left for work at 1pm humidity was fine in the incubator and there was water. I came home during break to check on them and it was 18%. I sprayed with warm water and added water. I noticed the pip at this point. I am taking a picture of what it looks like but I would hate to have a trapped baby. Does this look shrink wrapped? They are a couple days late with hatching. I think the friend told me this is day 34. While writing this I'm actually seeing movement and pushing. I'm not going to rush into anything just looking for opinions. Thanks for any help

I would wait a little while longer to help, and if the eggs are in an incubator try not to open the the lid too much because it will dry the eggs out more
