    DUCKS -- HELP!

    The duckling that hatched is doing great! I'm so happy about that. The other egg in the incubator has not moved since early Saturday. I just ended up candling the egg and I couldn't see any movement. The air sac is also lopsided. I'm not sure what to do. Is this duckling definitely dead?

I candled them up until what I thought was 24 (judging by Metzers website). After candling them that night they started rocking. So I went into lockdown immediately...

    The eggs have been rocking since Tuesday but no external pip. Is that normal?

    Thank you for all the "welcomes"! So 2 of my eggs were definitely quitters. Had to toss them last night. No movement, no veins, and they were starting to smell. The good news is, I just candled the 2 remaining eggs and after I put the cover back on both eggs started shaking! Do I go into...
