My duck wants to be a moma so bad. She has tried to sit on eggs and something always ends up happening. A few weeks ago was her first time to actually sit ALL day! On her 10th day, I went out to check because she was off her nest in the middle of the day. (Usually early morning for a few minutes and late afternoon). 4 of her eggs were gone and she would not get back by the nest! I ran to the nearest TS and got a bator and put the remaining eggs in. After a few days, I candled and a few were still good and others were not. She had laid a few more, so I just put them in there so she would have a full hatch. Not knowing what I'm doing, I didn't mark any of them! Yesterday was lockdown day (I think) for at least 3. I did mark them all with numbers after reading up on hatching. If those three are the wrong ones, am I going to kill them by not turning them? Should I just keep turning until they pip the air cell? I don't know, I was just crazy trying to save them!
