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

#1 is still absorbing. I noticed a few blood veins (they're big but still so teeny tiny) so I lubed it up and back to the incubator. #2 looks to be zipping as we speak and I see black down

Going to check #3, 4 and 5. Membrane where #2 seems to be zipping is yellowed so I'm worried, plus it sounds aggravated

Here are the pictures:

This is what I'll do with my 24+ hours externally pipped one. You applied coconut oil to the membrane at this time?

I have been using petroleum jelly and warm water.

Just removed more shell and membrane from lazy. Now I'm done and will only moisten as necessary. She can do the rest on her own.

I lost one more. I believe it was malpositioned and shrink wrapped.

I thought this one #4 was dead so forgive the peek hole mess. I believe it's malpositioned. Any idea by pics? It's still alive. Possibly shrink wrapped

#2 is frustrated. It poked through the membrane as I chipped away the shell. No chewing or yawning but I can't tell about it's veins and yolk

 

[HeatherKellyB]

#3 still appears to be chewing occasionally and I do see veining

. Bill is clear though

Another view of number 4. I'm not sure what to do here. I know it's not ready to hatch but I'm worried about clearing it's bill and shrink wrapping. Humidity is at 69%
