    TSC Duckling Identification

    Duckling #1 looks a lot like a khaki/pekin hybrid. Hubby hatched out some last December and 2 looked just like that.

    Duck lessons

    I learned that there's a major difference between collecting chicken eggs and duck eggs. Chickens will lay in the same place. Ducks? Seek and find! I am convinced they plan on who will lay where overnight. Then laugh while I go to every corner and pile of leaves knowing they will hear me say...

    They were fully developed. It wasn't a total loss. Two hatched before sunrise yesterday. :jumpy:jumpy

    Not that I'm aware of. There was an unexpected rise in humidity.:th

    That makes complete sense with the float test. Considering these eggs had a rough journey via USPS, I suspect they may not have made it. :idunno

    Just not sure what to do . . .

    I used 3 thermometers and a hydrometer. All were calibrated. None have externally pipped. After much thought and my husband's input we decided not to float. I will be candling later this evening and will post pictures. I've been thinking about making an air hole just in case, but I'll wait...

    How long can i leave my eggs

    I'm more anxious and concerned than in a hurry. Thank you so much for responding. Is it possible that they are still ok even though they are not moving?

    How long can i leave my eggs

    Really? What if there is no movement? I have 8 remaining out of 10 khaki campbell eggs. Two hatched over 24 hours ago. I candled them and 1 appears to still have red blood vessels but the others have dark vessels. Air sacks are saddled due to them being shipped eggs. I have them on their sides...

    Ducks

    If eggs are what you need I recommend khaki campbells or golden 300's.

    February Hatch-A-Long

    I need silkies in my life! :bow

    Just not sure what to do . . .

    I'm pretty sure they have pipped internally. I will not float. There is no movement and the blood vessels I could see are no longer red.

    Chick stuck in egg

    It takes a couple of days for them to get their legs under them. Wait until day 3. I leave them in the incubator for 2 days. (Most people leave them in for 3 days.) By then, they're fluffy and walking better.
