HELP whats happening?? the other 7 eggs still didnt hatch and 5 more started lock down yesterday i opened bator real fast to take temp thing off of 5 eggs & noticed UNDER THE EGG (WHICH WAS MOVING A LOT YESTERDAY/1ST EGG TO MOVE) IT IS LEAKING.. I DIDNT TOUCH OR MOVE JUST SEEN A LIQUID SPOT.. temp is 99 humidity is 77 that isn't Way too low? TOO LOW TO KILL IT? Must be trying to hatch at underneath of egg?

Thanks, Julie

An egg only leaks for one reason only. It is dead and full of bacteria. The bacteria will expand and leak or worse explode and contaminate the incubator. Get a plastic bag and slowly remove it with the bag and hope it doesn't blow up. You do not want to smell that!

the hole and 2 little pieces of shell were at the bottom part of the egg. The baby must have been upside down in the egg & facing down , the hole was low and could see the baby duckling a little. whats wrong with these eggs, other than i killed them all but 1

~I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO HATCH DAY TOMORROW!!~

do you think the other 1 is bad also?

In my last hatch I had 2 pip on the pointy end and on the bottom. I wondered why there was 2 that hadnt pipped and half of them were already out, it just so happened that 1 of the hatched ducklings fell over the eggs and turned them and I saw the pips with goo like stuff. I took the bator down to the bathroom, turned on the shower to get the humidity up and took a load of the shell off each egg. They were ready to hatch, no veins and both were out in half an hour, they had zipped all the way round and couldnt get out on their own. They all lived and I sold the last 9 today all healthy and happy
