Between the weather and the babies I'm going crazy.

The worst thing you can do is open up the bator. You need to leave them alone, I have seen others say that any where up to 48 hrs after they pip, so try not to get extreme. The peck awhile then rest. it's hard work breaking out of an egg. I just about have to use a hammer to break open my muscovies eggs, can you imagine how difficult it is for the duckling but thats why it's such a struggle for them so they will be tough when hatched. Try to relax.

I hope I am not coming across like I know it all or sound mean, I just want ya'll to have healthy ducklings..

I knew you were going to say that. Lol.

They went from rocking and peeping like crazy to nothin'. Same as mine did. That's why I'm worried for her.

ETA: But you'll be proud to know I've kept my hands out of that bator!

Maybe their just resting. Thsi is why I won't get an incubator, Mamas are better, it's all over and you get to see them when hatched. I'd be a nervous wreck just like ya'll are.

Hey! In my defense, I'm a stay at home mom! So I walk by the computer every 30 minutes or so. This is my only adult interaction ALL DAY!! And it's a major plus to talk to people that love my poultry!!

I'm addicted to BYC. I should start a thread.
