So my clutch of Cayuga/Crested eggs in the incubator are doing well. Unfortunately, I think a couple of our first eggs were either unfertilized or early death. I don't see any dark spots in the eggs but I also don't see any signs of veining. They are eggs #1 & 3 out of 11. How long should I wait to see if any veining will occur before remove them from the incubator?

Dose or had any one crossed a Cayuga drake with a Welsh Harlequin duck?
I have been looking hard but I can't find any pictures.

@searlus usually by day 7-8 you should see veining as long as there isn't any smell you can leave them longer.

Miss Lydia is correct. By 7-8 days of incubation, one should easily see good veining and the embryo. Yes, as long as the eggs don't smell, you can leave them in for a couple extra days.

Yes, I see growing embryo and veining in the eggs.

Hope this helps. Good luck and enjoy your ducks.

It is! Of course she waited until mid october in Idaho, right when it starts getting cold. Thankfully our local feed store loans out an incubator. I'll keep y'all updated

What Local feed store loaned you the incubator?

Matthews Feed and Grain. Small town living at its best. It was just a small little giant still air. Unfortunately the person before us didn't treat it very well. Ended up buying one anyways but it got us through the first couple days
