Safety holes?

[Knighstar679]

Sometime this morning aka between 1am and 11am two of my little ducky eggs seems to have internally pipped.

My question is do I safety hole before work tomorrow to make sure those ones can breathe if they haven’t externally pipped or will they be ok without a safety hole for over 24 hours if they haven’t broken through?

@WVduckchick ?? I think they will be ok if you put a safety hole but let’s see what she says.

The short answer is no. The lack of O2 gets them to externally pip. Poking a hole is done when they are a day late in hatching...when the others have hatched and it as been 24 hours after that as a hail Mary.

This is the time for patience

Best wishes on the hatch!
