    Help, Please!

    Thank you to everyone who helped me through this process. I'm sad to say I'm fairly certain the egg is completely and utterly dead. The dark object that once inhabited my egg has now almost completely disintegrated into veins and patches. I doubt there is any hope, but I'm so sad about this, if...

    Help, Please!

    Update: the duckling seems to have gone to one side, and I'm noticing a strip of darkness under part of it when candled. The veins are still there. I'm seeing some fuzz too. I think I saw a foot, possibly, as well. The air sack is the same size, though I noticed a small portion where it's open...

    So far, not much change in the egg. I'd just like to clarify for everyone that the candling picture was not my own, but one that looked basically the same as my egg. Sorry about that! In reality, the air sack is about double the size. I'll keep you guys posted! Thanks for all of your help :)

    Duckling Care?

    I hate to bother you with so many questions, but you seem to know quite a bit about this. Do you happen to know of any stores that sell chick/duckling/etc feed? Or do you always have to order online? I'm not sure I want to order feed, since I don't know if the egg will hatch or not.. And by...

    Duckling Care?

    So I'm pretty hopeful that my egg (https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/905918/help-please#post_13785122 here's the link to the story and such) will hatch. Assuming it does, how should I take care of the duckling? I was thinking of putting it in an old fishtank we've got (without the lid, of...

    The splotches are hard to see, but they're there. Sorry for the poor pictures.

    HELP

    The darkness is a duck for sure, I know it's fertilized, and I think we may be around day 28, maybe not though. It's impossible to tell, I dunno when she laid this egg specifically. I can't see it move, since the egg is mature, and the duck is taking up most of the space inside.

    HELP

    Maybe here I can get some help, since nobody's answered so far. I have a wild mallard duck egg that was abandoned by its mother over a week ago, and I rescued it last Monday. She'd been sitting on these eggs for about a month, laying new eggs all the while. The other eggs that were left were...

    Help, Please!

    I'm completely new to this, and honestly, I'm not even doing this as a hobby. I've gathered the info I could from the magical internet, but I still don't know quite a few things. So first, I need some help with the lingo. Could someone explain what lockdown means? Also, I have a mallard duck...

    Hatching Wild Duck Egg

    So I don't have much info, I just know it's been a while since the egg was laid and it's got some gray spots and veins when I candle it. Will it hatch? Also, I rescued the mallard duck egg about a week ago, and the mum had been gone for about a day, maybe two.
