This morning, I turned my eggs and went ahead and put them in the egg carton. The ducklings were still peeping at me. Well, I just looked and I have 2 pips that I can see. Now I am trying to up my humidity. Just filled the other water container and waiting to see how much that increases it. I will keep you all informed.

edited to add: I have 3 more pips. The first 2 haven't progressed very much at all. I did get my humidity up finally.

Well, this was a pretty disappointing hatch for me. I started out with 27 eggs. I removed 4, due to not growth. Out of the remaining 23, I had to 5 that pipped and started to zip, but died. I had 7 that were fully form, some that had not completely absorbed the yolk yet, that never done anything and 11 hatched.

Out of the 11 that did hatch, one of those did not make it. Something was severely wrong with it's little feet. The other 10 are doing great. One of those does have something wrong with one of it's little feet, but it does not seem to slow him down at all.

Just wanted to let all of you know. No I still do not have a camera.
