Will anymore pip?

I think he is helping. The two others that have pipped are moving. I also saw a couple other eggs wiggle. How long would you leave him in there? At 4:00am tomorrow morning will be 24 hours in the incubator. I really don’t want to put him in the brooder tonight without any friends

Ducklings can go without food and water for up to 3 days post hatch as they still have the remains of the yolk to sustain them. A lone baby in a brooder is not a happy baby, so leave him with his siblings, even if they are taking their time. Once he has a buddy they can go in the brooder together.

It's great to hear more are making moves to hatch. In most of my hatches there seems to be an early bird, then the rest hatch a bit later more as a group.
