Today is hatching day but nothing yet

[Shawnnaraye87]

Sometimes they just like to take their time. Little things like varying temperature, or lower temperature, during incubation can also slow down their development a little, causing them to hatch a little later. I wouldn't be too worried since you are still seeing them wiggle.

Were these shipped eggs by any chance? I'm not sure if it's just me or what, but all my shipped duck eggs have been a couple days late hatching.

No they are from our two females we have. Hopefully they will be doing something by tonight. If they would at least pip I would feel a little better

Congratulations! More hand sitting, and your little duckies will be out and ready to cuddle soon. Good luck!

Congrats! Yeah, I've only hatched ducks twice so far. But both times they took a lot longer than chicks to make it out of the shell.

Ducks seem to take much longer and from our last two . They rest a lot more... Which will freak you out as well.
