The brown spot is right by the x.

My eggs both still have visible veins and movement when I candle them. No internal pips yet but I think they will soon. Also, the egg on the bottom has a tiny brown spot on it. I think the egg is still fine because I see veins and movement, but should I be worried? I’m almost completely sure...

I used to give my duckling dried meal worms for a snack.

Your ducklings are so cute!

Hi everyone! I am going to attach pictures of my duck eggs. I know that two of them are for sure alive, but I’m not sure about the rest. Let me know what you think.

Yes, that helps a lot! Thank you

Hi everyone! What temperature should I keep my duck eggs at in order to hatch? Also, what should the humidity level be kept at?

Mallards would also be a good option. They are super friendly.

Also, you’ll need to make sure that the food you get for them contains niacin. That is crucial for duckling development.

You’ll need a lot of space for them. About ten years ago I had 12 ducklings, and I started them off inside a big tote. Once they got bigger I made them a fenced in area for them in my yard. They are really messy, but having them in the yard eliminated some of the mess.

If there is still veins, then it is most likely still alive. Good luck!

I use a heat lamp that has a big clip on it. I clip it onto my ladder in our garage, and can adjust it closer or further away from the ducks in order to get the temperature right.

I live in Illinois as well!!!

I have only ever hatched eggs using a heat lamp, so I am not sure. Someone else on here should know the answer to your question though.
