I know, it used to annoy me how routy and rough they were with the other guys tryin to make their way out, but thats how nature works... So, i just let em do their thing.
O my goodness, thats amazing!
Yea, just make sure you keep a very very close eye on those pippers to make sure they arent shrink wrapping and you should be ok.
Yes, the chicks hatching does increase humidity, and btw, at this stage in its life (its not recommended) but that duck egg is so developed that it could actually go without turning... Im not saying do that, rather just informing you that the embryos are a lot tougher at the age your duckling is...
Well, you do risk shrink wrapping those chicks that are pipped if you open the bator, so heres what i recomend. Just dont turn it anymore, and when more of those chicks pop out, they will start playin football with those eggs, so that will count as your turning, but since you have already opened...
I finished my last september hatch with 13 chooks, it was a pretty bad hatch, i had started with like 40 some eggs, and locked down 30 some, but oh well, cant change it. I am goin again tho, i posted in the oct hatch a long i got some cochin, serama, and CCLB eggs cookin now! Hatch day will be...
Gotcha, nah, its perfectly fine to leave em in there. They will chirp and play soccer with the other eggs which kinda wakes em up and does help them to start hatching.
