    Call duck day26 none hatching

    Oh yes these poor eggs were a disaster from the start. I had two ducks sitting on 12 eggs that I bought on line. Out of the 12 we got 5 and I had my own egg. They sat on them for about 2 weeks only getting up once a day and then called it quits. The eggs were unattended for a few hours as I...

    I’ll try and get some pics today if possible. I don’t think any have internally pipped at this stage. These are bought eggs so I know exactly when they were sat under the duck.

    Drakes suddenly being mean to other ducks

    So what should I do for now... The white drake only breeds with his 2 white ladies not the others. So this gang is very much a seperate unit.

    Help ILT
