Who's Hatching Ducks? Hatch With Us!! *Page 3*

Have you thought to help it a little? I usually do if they are taking to long or seem in distress. I have not lost 1 that I have helped.

If they take to long the membrane seems to dry around them keeping them from escaping.
 
Put them to your ear and see if they are making noise when you tap them.

As for the one you think is to late, crack the shell a little around where it has pipped through. You will know.

I'm not sure about mine either -

The other 6 eggs have had no action at all - no internal pip or anything.

The one girl who hatched is still laying on her side kicking at air.

I had a chick hatch sometime last night, so maybe the chick will get her on her feet, but I don't know - it's been two days since she's been out, and I need to get her out of the bator soon - so she can eat and drink - but she can't do that without being on her feet.

not sure what to do about this one. I guess I'll see how she does in the brooder bin.
 
Ok, little girl duckie died - I expected that to happen, but the good news is that I have another duck egg that is rocking like mad - so there is hope for the other 6 eggs after all.

I'll keep ya updated....
