My eggs are on day 31 now and still haven't pipped. They were alive last I checked... and I've seen a couple wigge. But... nothing... ;/

What kind of eggs ?

 

[Chickielady]

Yup. I thought they should have hatched Sunday.

But the best I am getting is a wiggle out of a couple of the Cayuga eggs...

Ahhhhhhh, ducks.
If they still are viable, it may be that they are far too low a temperature.
At this rate, maybe none will hatch...sometimes the baby just gets tired, and they seem to have an inner clock, that says they can only BE between this day & that.
After that, they get too dry & cannot pip.
If they have been at too low a temp all the time, then they may not be anywhere near developed enough to pip, bu yet getting too dry.
Check your temp, test your therm against a human oral therm, use a glass of lukewarm water & test.

Sounds really nice but we're in Pacific County! Good luck! It's great that you are doing bees as well!

I'm not sure I can stick the reptile thermometer/hygrometer in a glass of water... But I can try. I kept the temp at 102 and humidity is supposedly 60%. Which is too low but I can't seem to get it up. I was told to check for internal pipping but I don't know how...
