Then we have rolly polly here that when I home was clear over in the corner caught by the thermometer and hydrometer. So I had to move him back over where he belongs. He is pushing and squacking and peeping.. HE WANTS OUTTA THERE!!!!!!

That's how mine looks only all dried up in there, and not peeping or trying to get out. He's very tired.

He is lifting up his head and pushing as hard as he can. Poor littlt guy.

Tallk to him. That's all I have been doing with this one. A couple strong pushes and he's out.

Sing push it push it real good. He will come out

Stillmecle, so his head is still tucked in the shell?

 

[stillmecle]

Under a leg and on top of what looks like his bum

I'm going to wet down the membrane again. He's dry again. And my humidity is at 70%. I don't understand that. I think I will actually try moving my incubator to the basement where there's more humidity.

Actually in 2 weeks I have nothing left to hatch! Lol. I just went out to gather duck eggs and something ate all of them. There are pieces of shell. I suspect this predator pictured below...




She was able to dig under the corner and pull them out somehow. I will fix this problem. But she looks guilty.

Ok, I'm waiting for what 70% is getting at here because mine looks the same way.

QuackerJack, sorry to hear about your 'predator attack'. Cute predator though.

Stillmecle - did the duckling remove all that shell on its own or have you been helping?
