Not going to take responsibility for the headaches I'm afraid.

Not much happening....bit of rocking, little bit of tapping but then it isn't officially day 28 until 10 pm...

At least all still moving..

lets hope the morning brings news...Oh and someone take the wine bottle from TMG    


Thanks

[Kate and her Ducks]

Still got everything crossed fro you. Had to help out some of mine but as you say still plenty of time, especially as they have holes to breathe and not 28 days yet. Keep them moist as especially with the hole they will dry out a little quicker and that can make it harder to hatch.

[poultrygeist]

Will keep it all crossed.

....and I'm not going anywhere near TMG to take her wine bottle off her  :shock:

It's a risk we'll have to take.

it's from her, not off her, really Rob, queens english and all that, hic.

[Kate and her Ducks]

How can you not be up already and letting us know whats happened!

Oh, you mean you joined this forum for help and advice and not early morning heckling from interferring biddies across the country. :oops:

I'll just sit quietly in the corner :roll:

Actually, I probably won't

[Cleo]

No ducks yet...


Still movement in shell....am misting with warm water occassionally...
No tapping really...they seem quite happy to stay put

[Vember]

Note to Cleo :

Duck lovers are up early & are very impatient  


Hope things are going ok

[Vember]

Sorry Cleo

So long as they're moving

The duckling furthest along is now making valiant attempts....scrabbling and tapping. Am keeping the eggs lightly misted with warm water to prevent the membrane drying up.

It is still day 28 until 10 pm

I have to go out this morning but will check in with progress at lunchtime

[too many girls]

what do you mean you have to go out? how can you possibly leave them?

[Kate and her Ducks]

Might be for the best, less chance of premature meddling.

Not a chance I could leave though! You're a stronger woman than me, Cleo!

[too many girls]

i couldn't leave mine, i'd be afraid i'd come back and it would all be over, i was woken with a start to find pippa standing over the incy (on my bedside table) saying "your meant to be hatching today, so hatch"  she looked at me and said "oh, can't you sleep either?" er, i was asleep till she came and scared the life out of me, it was 2.34 am, after that i couldn't get back to sleep and ended up watching Loose women, that Anthea Redfern looks dead old now!

[Kate and her Ducks]

I managed to sleep before they hatched but only had about 2 hours undisturbed sleep the night after as I had a poorly one who needed pippette feeding. Worth it as by the next day, couln't tell it from the others.
