Try quacking at them. I did that, and my peeper hatched within the first hour that I found he was hatching!

This is what I do for my chicks, I start peeping at them and it really gets them going. And I also tap on the incubator and that really makes them hurry up! LOL

Haha.

I did that with my first hatch, then when the duckling hatched, it looked at me.like "seriously?! All this to find out i need to hatch out of this box too?! And to find I DON'T have a mama? Urg"

I quacked at my duck eggs and honked at my goose eggs in order to make them rock and chirp.

It seems to take FOREVER for them to get out of the shells--a day or longer.

I can't see why playing soft music would hurt.

I admit it - I sang to my duck eggs. They didn't hatch, but people tell me I have a lovely singing voice, so hopefully it wasn't that they were just afraid to come into a world that created those sounds.
I sing to the ducks & they like it. When we play music outside they come stand in the middle of the circle of musicians & quack up a storm & nibble on my stand-up bass. I think knowing something is waiting for them on the other side is a good motivator.

In that "Living With Turkeys" doc on PBS he gobbles at the turkeys & showed it helped them recognize him as "Mother" upon entering the world.
