I'm gonna stick with saying they shrink wrapped, that membrane looks dry and clingy. poor thing. you said you had 3 chicks that were in the same bator hatch with no issue? Im not very familiar with ducks to be honest, they could need higher humidity or something. if they pipped but couldn't get out it's most likely the humidity

I'm not expert, but i thought for ducks humidity had to be 70-80%?

I have 6 bators running, Chicks on 2 ducks on 2, and then one for Duck Lock Down and one for Chicken Lock Down, They are Not in the Same Incubator together, cause Humidity does Need to be different I am guessing, plus I think ducks Absorb more moisture and my chicks were Dry so Thats why I started Separating them

Did all of them have such large yolk saks left? The last pic looks like it needed more time still to incubate?

 

[ladyomaha]

Yes they all did, and were way past due, and Were Stinking. Thats when I had a Feeling something went wrong.

Can I do Dry Hatch with Ducks, and then have humidity at 70-80 during lockdown, or what is the humidity supposed to be during incubation?

again not the expert but I though things had to be pretty moist to hatch ducks form start to finish, maybe a duck expert can help.
