Did my duckling die after pipping?

[Nicki Casher]

I have three duck eggs hatching in my incubator. Last night all 3 were moving and pipped. Today two of them have are cracking and constantly moving and the other is not moving at all. Should I be worried that something happened to the other egg after it pipped and the duckling died?

If you’re really worried and it hasn’t moved or peeped in a while you can try carefully opening the egg up a little and assist the duckling if needed.

The duckling was o.k. As soon as the first duck came out of its egg the other two (including the one we were concerned about) poked their beaks right up through their eggs and started working their way out of their eggs.
