Here we go again! An incubator full of call duck eggs! Somebody please stop me!

Little Trump bump turns out to be a little hen :) Her wings are growing in and she has a bright green wing speculum rather than the blue or purple color usually seen, I like it a lot! Trying to figure which call drake to pair her with to keep the green speculum thing going.

Our little Trump Bump hatched 11-27-16. Named him Donald of coursr, or Donette.

Thank you, that's what I'm suspecting too.

Here's the other duckling suppose to hatch today, I candled the egg, and didn't see anything happening, opened the shell and he was already dead, inside was very watery, not at all sticky, can't figure why they die before even trying to pip. Several in the past have been this way. He had a lot...

It's worse in the winter months, the humity on the incubator says 20%, but don't know that it's accurate as it says the same summer and winter if no water is added. This one hatched on day 27. He hatched in the turner.

Usually use upright turner. Have used incubator without the turner for tbese same eggs, same result, they died right before or right at what should have been hatch time.

Finally one hatched this morning! Have set dozens of eggs non stop since September, did get several fertile, but none would hatch, they would all die in the shell right before hatching. This hatch used zero water in the incubator, no spraying eggs, nothing. I'm thinking that the mallard hen...

3 fertile eggs! Today is day is day 21, also 2 pavlayava chicken eggs due the same day. Added 13 new duck eggs the 2th. Can't wait to see my sootted call, wild mallard crosses.

Here we go again. My flying mallard type hen started laying again after summer molt. I incubated dozens of her eggs this spring anf summer, not a single one fertile because the little call drakes that I have can't get the job done on a gal who walks around with them on her back while they are...

De ja vu, so this is day 26 of my 6 call eggs, went and bought a brand new Little Giant incubator to use as a hatcher, one with the pre set digital temperature setting. Put them in the new bator on their sides yesterday am, humiditdy raised to about 65%. I alway get this far and tbey die:( so...

Those are some adorable pictures, especially the little sleeping baby ducky one.

Here's my little baby boy a couple days ago, the only one to hatch, he looked blue the first day, but since he dried off he's more black looking, I think he's going to be an interesting color when he feathers out. Candled my 50 eggs on day 10, only 12 were viable, most infertile and a few, the...

First 2016 hatch call duckling, a little Blue Bibbed baby, had to belp it hatch it was sticky and stuck to the shell, but ready to come out. Lost a couple, and hoping the other 2 hatch soon.

Have 6 call eggs suppose to hatch tomorrow, also have 50 eggs split between 2 incubators, so will also candle the 50 eggs, and expect to have enough infertile ones that I can get them all into 1 incubator to make room for the 24 call eggs shipping from Indiana, the 9 pastel eggs shipped from...

Beautiful babies!

:)

6 just candled today, day 10, 14 infertile eggs and only six with a nice embryo, all call eggs, none of the mallard eggs fertile. Eggs all same size, shape, color, must be from the same hen, suspect white call hen, chestnut call daddy. 7 of the chicken eggs nfertile, but 3 hatched yesterday...

Set 20 call eggs, 10 mallard eggs and 10 chicken eggs for the Easter hatchalong, hope I have better luck than my last try. Set 25 eggs a few weeks ago, not a single one was fertile when I candled them on day 10. I've witnessed some mating activity, so hopefully many fertile eggs this try.

Easter hatch along, I should have a couple dozen call eggs to participate, what day do we need to set call duck eggs so they hatch the day before Easter?
