I’m experience is always the shipped eggs , never did have to help ones collected by me in person.Any way you win some you lose some , but I stick by help when you can 😊

If they piping, level it be , observe.

I agree, I only would say more than 50/50 , over 3 years I incubate including yesterday I did 8 assists los 1 but it also was not formed correctly. But when I see struggling and decided to leave it or waited longer than usual I lost it even time

I would make safety hole in egg which pipe internally, if dane correctly it should be ok, but only if you see big reduction in movement. Also do you have extra thermometer/hydrometer inside of incubator, even best incubator lies some time. This would provide second reading to check accuracy of...

If is next day I would assist, remove membran with tweezers if it bleeds stop , put it back to incubator, try like 1h-2h later, also when removing egg keel gently wetting membrane witch water using clean Q-tip each time to prevent chick from getting shrink wrapped, tho this might what happen and...

Up date All three survived and doing really good, I give them yesterday water with vitamin b , legs issues in 1 and 3 resolved it self. I’m using my Borotto Lumia 16 as brooder for 3 days sort of like prenatal care unit , set up for 37C yesterday, torn down to 36C over night, and now 35C till...

So I did have a look but can’t see to much on those either, I would say your day 9, 11 possibly have something growing but not sure as can’t see good v, there is smal shadow but again can’t see. As others suggested I would collect for few days before setting , you can do staggered hatches but...

Hi I’m not a expert , but just hatch 9 out off 12 shipped eggs with badly detachable and saddened air cells. Long story short I should get delivery next day by 1pm , I got it 3,5 day later, after 2 days of frost with my eggs stored in post van . What I did is , rested eggs for 24h , placed...

I will have look and try to help if I can , but as mentioned before I would rotate eggs between center and end off incubator even if is home made , if you not doing it already

If you can do it . For me the one you posted looks completely clear, I can’t see nothing on this photo, can you try to take better pictures of it when taking pictures of others . What incubator are you using? This much different in development if eggs where placed at the same time would suggest...

He/she is moving better but I think is splayed , I was worried about spinal issue. I will try shot glasses method first, and after I will try to do splints . For now I’m only observing as is improving by it self.

I personally do not keep ducks, but I grow up on farm and remember my grandmother mashed some potatoes and sprinkled it with really finely chopped stinging nettles for fasy eaters ducklings , I wouldn’t recommend potatoes as base but I think it was mostly a fresh stinging nettles which...

Hi I decided is over 24h from piping so I end up assisting, got second one out and is looking good is active and strong, first is doing better butt his legs are looking not to good , 3rd is still alive in egg so I did zip line but left it be for now, unfortunately three light eggs from other...

Ok , so yesterday Friday was day 16 , 4 eggs piped yesterday between 6am- 10am , is now 8am Saturday where I live and nothing, I end up helping one out at 6am just to check are they alive ( this one would need assistance in anyway as it piped on centre of thicker end of the egg not on side of...
