Amg ducklings are so adorable!! I’m so glad it’s happening fast now and the wait is paying off finally. Let them do their thing in there unless assistance is needed, keep posting pics, too 😆

Yeah the hatching can bump it up. Open the vent all the way. At least opening the top hasn’t caused it to be too dry. I noticed a long time between phases, but you have to be patient if you see movement, they’re fine. They will breathe the air sac and rest, the diminishing oxygen in there is...

Yup, you did the right thing removing quitters. Everyone else, just keep monitoring like you have been and patience. Ducks take a long time to hatch…movement inside is good and just let keep cooking. Once it does start happening it’ll likely be chaotic and all at once 😆

Definitely an external pip, but it’s in the shell not through the membrane yet. They will have bursts of progress, then rest. The waiting is difficult. Let them be inside the incubator until they look fluffy not wet. They will pester the other eggs, but I think in the wild this actually...
