Once #3 pipps ,do you start helping doubles? Best of luck to you, I'm going to try it in the spring too

 

[MrsMommaJones]

That's kinda why we put 3 in there. I wanted to get a time frame from a single so I helped the doubles on time. I think 2 may be a single but we're still unsure at the moment.

Hopefully one of the twins will be able to make a pip, allowing you to be able to judge when to start looking to the others beak to assist it in making a pip.

i would love to have at least one new baby peep before winter =)

 

[maranfarmer563]

Oh you will,you have several hours to help the doubles,takes a while to absorb the yolk

 

[MrsMommaJones]

I'm just worried that one ore both may not be able to reach the air cell

 

[MrsMommaJones]

These are my practice run with an incubator before we hatch our frizzles

 

[HumbleHen207]

Its almost certain one wont be able to reach the air cell, but that doesnt mean he's doomed. I have had countless ducklings pip on the wrong ends of their eggs, 95% of them I was able to help out and save. The tricky part is he may not be able to make the pip so you will have to assist the pip, which is entirely possible. Don't worry too much about it, still a few weeks before they hatch!
