How it goes is internal pip..Then external pip, another pip beside that one and then Zip...This process can take two days actually..Ducklings sleep and absorb the yolk during this process..Interfering causes bleeds and weak Ducklings..

After they make the zip line and keep trying to get out...Update: they have cracked the eggs more. I haven’t helped - restraining myself thanks to all of your help!
Is there a point where they need help or do you think they’re just long hatchers?
It’s alive stillNo...They can take a long time..Up to 48 hours. Is it still alive?
How can you tell the need help getting out? Is it obvious?After they make the zip line and keep trying to get out...
Yes the bill will pop in and out and they will roll the egg ...How can you tell the need help getting out? Is it obvious?
But I should wait for zipping? It’s been 40 Hours and only pips so far.Yes the bill will pop in and out and they will roll the egg ...
I rescued 5 duck eggs- 2 seem to have passed away. I counted backward from the first day we noticed the male mallard and so I thought they would hatch 2 days ago. They haven’t internally pipped yet. Do I keep waiting? Should I worry? Temp in the incubator is 98, humidity is 65%.
Up until last weekend I had temp at 99 and humidity was 40% ish.
I candled this morning I still see movement. Can I post a video or photo in here? Did I calculate wrong possibly?
In light of the recent emphasis on environmental enforcement matters, individuals and businesses alike should be aware of potential liability under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) for “takes” of birds protected under the treaty—including Canada geese.
The MBTA implements treaties entered into by the United States with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the Soviet Union. The MBTA makes it illegal to “pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture, or kill, possess…transport or cause to be transported, carry or cause to be carried…” migratory birds, nests, or eggs. Regulations promulgated by U.S. Fish and Wildlife define “take” as to actually or attempt to “pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect.” States may promulgate additional and stricter laws or regulations, as long as they are consistent with the MBTA.
Any person who violates the MBTA is guilty of a misdemeanor (although certain knowing violations constitute felonies).
