HATCHLING HELP!!

[MamaLiss]

Good morning hatching friends! I hope to join your excitement with hatching next week. Were on day 22. Today I noticed a smell coming from the incubator. I candled the eggs and i thing I found the culprit. I'm attaching 2 pictures, can you confirm that it's a quitter?

Thanks so much looking forward to pictures of your new cuties!

Hi!! I’m rather new to hatching myself but I had a very similar experience! I smelled a little funk and worried I had a rotten egg. I candles them at about 30 days (even though that’s not recommended, I didn’t want a stink bomb) and 4 looked just like that!! If I laid them on the light nothing moved and they just looked solid filled. I was really scared they were rotten but I put them all in one area and guess what... those 4 are hatching! Duck eggs just kinda smell sometimes- I’d give it some more time!!! I think you have babies in the way!!!

As long as the brooder is warm enough, you can go ahead and move them there. Even if they’re not completely dry, a warm brooder isn’t going to hurt them Congratulations!

Yes I’ve been moving them after about an hour of rest. They look so weak at first I’m scared to touch em before they peep up a little hahah but they are very happy in the brooder and eating and drinking a little! I’ve got the nanny cam set up for when I leave the house.
