Sorry been a hectic 48 hours!! My cat was giving birth the same time the ducks were hatching so I was up and down all day yesterday. 2 out this morning currently resting, 3 more have the last bit of yolk to absorb so should be out later. No pips from the other 5 eggs. Oh and I lost one the yolk...

Ducks seem to take the car ride worse or in my experience they have. I won't be interfering to much unless it does need help that's why I waited 48 hours after the first internal pip to make a pin sized safety hole. Now I'll wait longer to see if there's any progress if not I'll open the hole a...

It will be 2 days tomorrow for the others so if there's no progress I'll make a safety hole for them too. These are shipped so I'm expecting problems!

That's what I thought lol. Don't want to leave it to long though! Well it internally pipped two days ago so I made a safety hole this morning and it seems pretty active. Yes it's yawning so it hasn't finished yet do you think it'll be able to get out alone or would I need to assist abit?

No it's still absorbing from what I can see. Once it starts on the shell I'll feel less worried but what do I do if it doesn't work on the shell? Never done this before sorry all the ducks I've incubated seem to die before now

I've made the safe hole I done that this morning. It peeped to say thankyou :) I meant if it doesn't make progress from that do I wait another two days?

How long do I wait if it makes no progress? Just so I know incase it needs help :)

They seem to do that it takes them a while to get up on their feet.

Yeah I have two other runner ducklings in the room their in I think hearing them is egging the others to hatch! I'm hoping it'll start zipping tomorrow as it's been internally pipped for 2 days but you know what ducks are like they tend to take their time :he

My runners had internally pipped 2 days ago now so I decided to make a safety hole no bigger than the tip of a pen. Will make me feel at ease knowing it can breath. Seems pretty active from what I can see the veins are hair thin so shouldn't be to long now. There's a couple like this but this...

Yes I have no idea what I'm doing :lol: I miss byc!

2 internal pips :celebrate should be hatched by day 28 if everything goes smoothly!

Oh and for everyone who knows what troubles I had hatching ducks well, I gave in and bought 2 runner ducklings thinking my eggs I have in the inc will never hatch as they never do. I just candled 10 runners and 1 Aylesbury eggs I have in lockdown and 5 have nearly internally pipped with no...

It was brown and like creamy kind of looked like a dog done it you know that sort of poop. All they seem to do is drink loads of water I'm filling it back up about 3 times a day! Everything seems normal eating great weight is perfect it's just the poop and boy does it stink!!

One of my ducklings has diarrhoea i let them out to wonder in the garden yesterday could that be it? Don't want it getting poorly

Thankyou I'll move them today at some point!

I have a question. My runner eggs haven't completely filled out yet and they are on day 25. Can I leave them in there a little longer before they go in the hatcher? Or will the egg turner make it hard for them to get in position for hatch?

Yay I found you guys!! This is so confusing :idunno

thank god ive finally got on here just realised BYC has gone!! Missed everyone :weee
