I hope someone can help me.
I've hatched out nearly 200 ducklings this year. With no major issues. We always lose a couple in a hatch though.
I had gotten a big lot of call duck eggs from ebay, since my calls refused to lay this year.

i have 28 more duck eggs that...

yes, its very possible they are a mix. We have Rouens, muscovies, east indies, and calls. I just didnt realize that could take that much off the hatching time!
At first i thought it was just one, but they're all hatching.
We've got 3 in the bator, and 3 under a broody banty, all in various...
Hello all!
This is the first time i've ever hatched eggs, and nothing seems to be going normally!
in lieu of a long story, i'll just give the facts
on March 17th we put in 8 muscovy eggs and 4 Rouen eggs.
one Muscovy egg stopped developing around day 7, but other than that, everything has been...
