Muscovy eggs on Day 33! Pipping? I'm a complete novice!

Congrats!!
Don’t forget to send pix!!

I definitely will! My stray Muscovy "Miss Tilly" is on her 3rd clutch. She took them directly to the pond and both were gone within 3 days. I snitched 6 eggs (5 remaining in the incubator). She's currently sitting on 10-15 eggs for about 18 days now. I know they won't survive. I candled 2 & they were fertile. She trusts me and follows me when I feed her. I'm slowly getting her closer to the duck pen hubby has set up for me. Should I snitch more & help her?

Good news! I have a bouncing baby myscovy duckling! The other 4 are zipping & won't be long before hatching. My stress level has decreased dramatically!

Update! Had 4 of the 5 hatch! One had pipped but did not zipped. Waited 24 hrs and checked him. He didn't make it. These are the sweet little peeps that made it!
