Urgent Duckling Help - Lockdown Question

Wow! Thanks

THANK YOU! You have no idea how much your advice helps us! We've kept our humidity up and now have 18 external pips of our 22 eggs. 4 have hatched! The one with the brown membrane got stuck, so when we hit day 4 after internal pipping, we painstakingly helped and there was no blood. Once we loosened it up, we put her back in the incubator and she popped out the rest of the way on her own!
Now we're watching with excitement as they hatch and dry!
Here's Gumdrop who has progressed nicely!

(is there anything on the planet cuter than a newly hatched duckling? I say no!)

We are elated and to be honest, exhausted from being awake last night. More are zipping and some seem to be hanging out at the pip stage so we set up a security cam to watch - our own “baby monitor”!

Friends -
We have been so busy caring for our little ones I didn’t get back online. We have 20 healthy little ducklings! There were a handful who needed help coming into this world, but you wouldn’t know it now. Thanks to another post on this site, we learned how to make a splint for one who was born with a curly foot that didn’t uncurl by Day 2, but after a day wearing the splint, she walks like a pro. Here’s a “playpen” photo! Thanks again for all the advice and support!
