Not much visible progress here overnight. It looks 2 of the wrong side pippers have some a little progress in opening their shell, but not much. One egg that was moving yesterday has stopped, and I have 2 eggs that have pipped on the right side of things.

So, since the wrong siders have not made much progress, when do I try to open up some shell for them? Or continue to wait?

Mine hasn't done much either. But there is a hole big enough in the egg that it's beak is sticking out and I can see it's still breathing. I still have my webcam up of the little guy if you want to take a peak? http://www.ustream.tv/channel-popup/live-hatch-cam

It looks like he's just resting and getting ready for what it assumes is going to be a hard hatch. I've already zipped around the shell for it though so it just has to give a good push and break the inner and outer shell membrane and out it comes!

Yours is miles ahead of ours. They just have a tiny hole that they have opened up, no beak visible at all. How long since yours pipped originally?

Here are pics of the my 3 wrong enders. These all pipped yesterday afternoon/last night, so they have had 12 hours or so to do a bit more resting. I have a total of 25 eggs in the bator, and I have 2 others that have pipped in the right end.

Advice and help needed, thanks!

#1, this one pipped the earliest and looks like he's made the most progress.



#2 was second in pipping, and has opened the shell some...



And number 3, which has not made much progress at all.

Just got a call from the doctor. I am sooooo **** sick of this. The knee surgery that I had almost 16 years has failed. I had torn my ACL.MCL and the ham string. I got bucked off of a horse. Well now I am suppose to get into surgery as soon as possible. I have my back being worked on today and now I am told I have to have surgery AGAIN on my knee. I am so depressed. I can't take much more that is for sure. Oh yeah, some of my duck eggs that are due Next week, are trying to pip today. what else is going to happen.................

Oh no Still. Can they put off the knee until you have time to recover from the back work? It's. It like you plan to run a marathon on it right now. Uumm as far as the eggs go, I really do think the solar flares and full moon screwed everything up.

MY knee is so swollen right now that is why they want me to get the surgery done soon, infection could be setting in. I am waiting for a call back from the doctor to see when they can get me in to see the doctor. I hate this stuff, How much more depressed do I have to get to have a break down?
