Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

I’m thinking they’ll internally pip soon! Maybe tonight or tommorow. @Miss Lydia look at the wiggly babies! Cami and Squeegee’s eggs are doing well too!

I just put 3 safety holes in the call duck eggs that had internally pipped. I'll check the others in the morning for pipping.

Yay! Hopefully you have a good hatch!

Thank you! I hope you do too!

Thank you! I hope you do too!

Of course! Thanks as well! Keep me in the loop with your ducklings’s progress! I’ll need some adorable pictures once they hatch!

Omg! So cute!!
Nope still lots of movement, shadowing, and now a lot of drawdown in egg 9s plus 6c! No internal pips yet and no action in the other 2. How long after drawdown and shadowing do your calls usually pip internally?

I think it can normally take 24ish hours for full drawdown to internal pip. Though this last hatch of mine, a couple were really quick. I noticed that the air cells that were more slanted to begin with seemed to drawdown and pip faster than the more rounded, level air cells too.

Ok thanks! I think mine are doing pretty good on the timeframe. The one with the larger air cell looks like it will internally pip first.

3 more of mine internally pipped and I gave them safety holes. I think the last one is malpositioned... I hope it will be ok.
