It’s update time! (2)

@TwoCrows Egg 12 was internally pipped for 30 hours with no external pip, so I gave them a safety hole just in case. I heard them chirping and saw lots of rocking a few hours later. After 36 more hours, they hadn’t made any progress, and I could hear them chirping in distress, so I decided to do a partial assist and see what the problem was. I chipped away some shell, found their bill, and they had NO egg tooth! I ended up having to do a full assist for them, and after a few hours, they were completely out. I’ve decided to name them Peach Cobbler! Here’s some pictures of them

Poor baby was so tired. This was a few minutes after I got their head out.

A couple hours later

And a few more hours after that

Peach and Laffy height check These ducklings grow too fast

These two fell in love with each other pretty quick

Oh, and here’s my drawing of them

As for the rest of the eggs,

@QueenofKings Turmeric, @NagemTX Howard / Howie, @fluffycrow Egg 19, @ElfenLied89 and @Nero70002 Michael Quackson, and @Debbie292d Egg 21 are all pretty much the same right now - super dark, hard to see anything, good air cells. Hopefully all 5 eggs will be going into lockdown later this week

@ElfenLied89 and @Antiocheggers Quack Sparrow is still extremely active, I love to see it. They will be a strong duckling

@2ndTink Quacker Jack, @Sally PB Lincoln, @Luv Ducks Tinker Bell, @tlcmurphy Egg 31, and @GreenJay Lucky Duck all have good veining going on now. They’re making great progress

11 more eggs to go! May they all hatch! The next update will be on Friday, the 26th
