So impatient/nervous for my duck egg to hatch, send me your cute duckling photos!

Currently on day 16 of incubation. This will be the longest 28 days ever...
Can I see some cute duckling photos to help

I've hatched too many times to count and the 28 day wait still seems like a million years! Here are some pictures from my last hatch

It’s a long wait, isn’t it? It’s hard for me to be patient and I candle them sooo much lol. I have 3 duck eggs on day 8 under a broody hen, I’m so excited! This is the first time I’ve ever hatched duck eggs.

Yes! And ive been pregnant 2 but this somehow seems longer haha . First time for me too!

so cool! its crazy how fast they develop! I'm the same, I can't help but candle mine every second day and watch how it changes.

I candle every night

My husband named it "Billy" IDK if it is a boy or a girl. It is a Khaki Campbell though. I hatched it from a friend. She gave me 3 eggs, one was not fertile, and then Ma sitting chicken gave both remaining eggs dents. One egg was beyond repair, and I put nail polish on this one's egg. (day 8) I had some staggered chicken eggs hatching, and since the duck's egg had a crack, I kept in in incubator with hatching eggs to help with moisture. He hatched fine and on time, his under bill has grown longer than his upper though.
