Today is duck lockdown!

[stonykill]

and as I'm taking the eggs out of the turner, 3 have pipped in the turner! Am I going to have a shot at a hatch here? Or did something go wrong? Today is day 25, and I am actually doing lockdown 3 hours early.....

One of mine pipped in the turner as well. She is now a super cuddle but and doing great. I have 4 more hatching as we speak. I finally got my cam working again too

good to know! It kinda freaked me out. I've never hatched ducks.... and seeing 3 out of 11 already pipped...well, it freaked me out. The incubator peeps once in a while. Kinda hard to hear over my 13 two day old Sumatra's carrying on!!

They arent set to a timer- so they will start trying to " bust out" just when ever they are ready... Some earlier - and some later than expected. Sometimes they can hatch a little early if the temp is too high- but 28 days is really just an average- so some can still come earlier than expected even when everything else is all running right.

My muscovy are due today no pips nothing. It looks like there is alot of fluid in the egg

You got that right. My first baby pipped a day before lock down talk about early.

I love having hatch buddies.
