I use a fine mist sprayer w/very warm water to gently mist my duckies as once they are open enough I know it won't drown them. I use a very very light hand, and if needed spray a q-tip for harder to reach spots.

CG, if they are starting to try to zip... you can be working on chipping more away and getting them unstuck. (But you probably already know that)

ETA: It does look like some eggs are further along than others in your pic, but hard to tell. Can you get a closer shot of the eggs??

i will try when i give water and turn eggs at 1 ish.

i pretty much just peeled away the shell of the air cell same as i did with the first 3.
some have their beaks furthe out of the membrane.
one actually you can barely see his beak.
but i havent helped other than pull away shell and wet membrane. everyone is how they were inside the shell before i assisted.
i did leave the back of the shell on so they are "stuck " in there until yolk is absorbed.

good call. They must have time for that, or you will likely eperience losses. I think they are still gonna work out for you. Go duckies!

my little hospital hatchery, look at the one on the left she is a gorgeous silver color

, she was in rough shape her inside looked like someone shook up the egg and then poured it back it

but she is a strong little bugger and seems to be doing really good
