Hi - I hope that someone can help me with this question.
I am hatching Pekin Duck eggs in my incubator. Two of the eggs have holes about the size of a dime or bigger from the ducklings working on getting out.
However, Duckling #1 has been hatching since August 6 at 6:30 pm and Duckling #2 since August 7 at 12 noon. It is now August 8 at 3 am.
How long does it take for a Pekin Duck to hatch in an incubator? How do I know to let them go or help them? I have called around to vets, etc and I have been told many different things...some say 24 hours and others say 3 to 4 days.
If anyone could shed some light on how long I should expect them to take to get out of the shell, I would really appreciate it.
They are still chirping up a storm and pecking at the eggs but not rolling around much.
Thank you!
