December Hatch-A-Long!
I had that in a few of mine unfortunately they didn't make it, some didn't develop any further - there was one egg that the duckling was still moving but the clump started to spread round the egg and then a red circle started to develop at the bottom of the shell and started to look like this...- JoelleNZ
