do they have a body clock already....will they stop struggling because its night now and will they naturally die in egg because of that??....also storm going down now does heavy atmospheric preassure and nightfall offer any danger to my already weaconeded 7 duccle eggs?

They'll be OK - maybe stop the eggs from rolling around.

Bendable the eggs will be ok. The chicks will rest for a bit then start again my eggs rolled a bit for 24 hrs then they hatched. I too had the humidity to high in the early days and the hatching was a day behind but they hatched. Cheers linda

STOP!!!!! Don't help them out!!! They can take up to 48 hours from 'pip to chip' Give them at least another day! Are they bantams? Or full sized?? Hope they are ok - and.... try not to open the incubator!! You will reduce the humidity and harden the shells. Then the wee chicks won't be able to crack through Good luck and you can email at ikbok@iinet.net.au if you need any extra help (if I can give it!)
