Twin duck egg ready for lockdown

[Hsinichung]

I am currently hatching two eggs, and one of them has two egg yolks. Tomorrow would be the 25th day and ready for lock down. My concern is if by 28th day it didn’t pip should I help with hatching?

Sorry but I don’t. I will try to take a pic of it today before lockdown

I just realized today that the duck eggs, including the twin yolk eggs are Muscovy duck eggs. I thought they are all regular duck eggs, so I put it in lock down on day 18. Will the ducklings be ok? I did candle both eggs yesterday and today, and I saw movements. Just hopefully it will be ok with a too early lockdown day.

Did you raise already humidity for lockdown? Even mallard-derived duck eggs take about 28 days to incubate (and Muscovy roughly 35), so you are really early on lockdown.

Since the Muscovy eggs are only a little more than halfway through incubation at this point, I'd stop lockdown, reduce humidity to pre-lockdown levels, and keep turning until actual lockdown. Best of luck with your hatch!

The lockdown is already at day 31 and yes I have been maintaining the humidity between 70-75%
