Sure! Do you have a hatching egg source already picked out?

oh I’m so sorry 😞 These Calls are so tough

Personally I’d probably check it in about 3.5 hours so that you are splitting the time. But I might be too paranoid and chances are it will be fine overnight. Maybe take off the plastic overnight and just keep humidity around 70% in case it manages to get in trouble with the plastic?

The veins look like they might be getting closer to hatching. I’d recommend checking in the night

That’s great that it is peeping. Are the veins receding? I can’t see them in the video. Maybe take a pic of the membrane using the flash on your phone/camera. I would keep the membrane moist and watch the veins to see if they start getting thinner

I think I might next chip away a bit more shell around the aircell area to try to find the head and bill and make sure it’s breathing

I have heard of doing that, but I would be a bit concerned the baby might turn and cover the hole in the plastic and suffocate

It’s a bit hard for me to see in the video- are there a lot of veins? We’re you able to locate the bill?

What about making a safety hole now, and then in a few hours slowly start expanding the hole to see what is going on. If you aren’t seeing a lot of veins, and it hasn’t internally pipped, I would try opening the membrane just above it’s bill. Call ducks seem to have such a high Hatch failure...

Does it still look like in the video you posted above? If it hasn’t internally pipped, I don’t think the safety hole will help but I also don’t think it will hurt (someone more experienced may be able to tell you if I’m wrong). So I might go ahead and make a tiny safety hole with a screw or...

Not to scare you, but I tried a dry incubation (humidity 30-40%)with my last batch and I lost 50% of the eggs in the first 2 weeks. I know dry incubation works great for many people, but for whatever reason it doesn’t seem to work for me I hope the rest of your eggs survive 🤞🤞
