Try to be patient (says Miss Impatience) if they are moving they are ok. Soon you will see new babies !

You do know ducks take longer than chicks, right? Just making sure.

you are just TOO bad! you couldnt refrain yourself could you?!

Yeah, close em up and just wait. They may be a bit late if you have opened up the bator a lot. You want to make sure humidity stays high. Chances are if it is day 25 of 28, they won't have pipped yet. If they are due sunday, they shouldn't pip till sunday.

I think I am right with the 28 day thing.
