We started off with 6 and are down to 4. the two dumb ones didnt follow the chickens. No idea what got them but they are giant ass birds kills me they let a coon/fox who knows get them! and feathers right by their pen. They really are not the smartest bird but it seems they need to follow...
8 Duckling hatched out fine with no issue... We were at day 28 today and i saw no internal pip and no movement in eggs...s tarted opening a few up.. found perfectly positioned ducklings that never internally pipped... all dead.. nearly 40 eggs worth :(
So.. what went wrong? I DID forget...
So I opened a few. I've got perfectly formed ducklings... positioned for pipping.. but all are dead. Why? Too much humidity not enough? Membranes looked good they werent dry...
Eggs set 3-30 @ approx 10am
We are now at day 28.5 and here are the stats
Set 50 eggs. 2 were yolkers. Every other egg hit every milestone... blood island etc... I had no quitters.
Prior to lockdown on Wednesday night I checked all eggs and ALL had movement and were alive.
I had 2 hatch...
