Wiggling eggs?!?!

[mammaofmiracles]

Ducks take a long time. 24-48 hours after pip. Yes, up to 2 days!
Resist the urge to help them out. Once they pip, they are still absorbing yolk, and that is much better done inside the shell.

Good luck!

Omg thank goodness you said this because I woke up this morning and freaked out because the eggs only made just a little progress I'm trying so hard to stay hands off but I'm scared I won't know when to be hands on if needed. So they are still ok??

One egg is pipping but the other isn't doing anything
Should I help it???
What if they try and pip on the wrong end?

 

[chickens really]

Relax....It should finish and hatch out well on its own...Do not worry about pipping the wrong end till it happens....

Ok thank you!! And how about the other egg?? The other one hasn't even pipped or wiggled
I'm a nervous wreck. Is this normal?!?!?

 

[chickens really]

Not normal but yet normal...They sleep lots before and during piping and zipping...

 

[chickens really]

You can candle that egg to see if its still alive?...

 

[chickens really]

Sadly if humidity is too high the shells become hard and the white membrane too rubbery and they can not make it out of the egg without a bit of assistance ...Not sure if that's your situation?...

 

[chickens really]

Assistance might be needed to get oxygen to the Duckling?...

 

[mammaofmiracles]

Ok so I'm freaking out guys!!!! I'm scared the other one wasn't moving and I don't know what I'm looking at when I candle so I made a little pip hole for it but now it's bleeding a little!!!!! Omg did I just kill it?!?!? I can't even handle this right now

 

[chickens really]

Calm down...If alive it pulses...A little blood usually won't do any damage ....
