Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

[Miss Lydia]

And now I'm wondering if they already internally pipped while I wasn't watching. . . .ran out of oxygen and died

Hope not

So sorry. Wish I had some words of wisdom.

Text her or Natalie if you have her # I am sure both would be happy to help. Especially if you feel it's an emergency. Or Pyxis.

I saw WV was on earlier but she has hatching going on too. lol

Ravyn is the only number I have. I'm not going to call it an emergency just yet. I will text her in a little while if I don't see any change.

It's ok. This is exactly what happened this time last year with her first hatch. Turned off cold and rainy . . one hatched two were stuck so I helped them out. . the rest died in the shell without ever pipping. They were fully formed and looked fine too. This was all before I joined byc. .so I didn't even know how to assist.

What day are they on?

What day are they on?

Well these are brood y eggs so hard to tell. But they are full of baby and air cells dipped.

Hang in there Shaw! I wish I knew what to do!

Howdy!
What's going on now? Gimme a minute to read back a bit

Ok the pics of the one look fine. As long as the bill is clear, just let him rest and continue yawning.
I'm impatiently waiting on mine to start pipping too, so I'm right there with you.
The gap you are seeing down in there is not shrinkwrapping. It's where the original air cell was, prior to the ling getting into position.
You can peel off that area of the SHELL, just to where it meets the attached part, if you want, or wait for a little more activity, just keep the membrane moist as far down in there as you can reach.
