Help! I have a hatch in need of assistance.

[sammil12]

I have 2 ducklings stuck in their shells. They were due on May 1st and once I saw they were still alive I began to assist. I only had 6 in the incubator so I was trying to get these 2 out. What should I do? I’ll attach a picture of the one.

Ducks take longer ( than chicks, geese, G-hens, etc..) to hatch because of the shape of their beak, leave them be so they can hatch. If they don't finish, then you'll need to assist them. If you keep opening the incubator, you might kill them, be careful! Make sure the temp and humidity is at the correct levels... Hope that helps!

Thanks! I’m worried they are shrink wrapped maybe? The membrane looks dry… what should the humidity level be at? It’s been hovering around 68%.

Is this shrink wrapped?
