We are hatching 3 runner duck eggs. It is day 30 and we opened the egg by the air bubble - they are still alive but not pipping - we can't go any further because they were bleeding but are not now. They are in the incubator. We need to know if we need to keep spraying them all night with warm water - should we spray them hourly or what? Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you!
 
Did you just make a small hope in the egg? If so, I'd say moisten the membrane and then sellotape the hole up to seal it again. The just sit back and wait. Eggs usually hatch best with minimum interference and it's really not a good idea to go opening them up before they've pipped on their own. Good luck!
 
i would bump up humdity to at least 85 . make sure they all have small hole to breath. and keep bator shut. they should do rest. day 30 is not too late. if membrane is stuck to feathers. i would use q-tip to drop a few drops of warm water around edge. and let them rest for a 4-6 hours and see how they are doing. update us with some news hoping you have some fuzzy butts this morning.
