    that what I did. it was fully formed but had not consumed the yolk, and little duckling that did hatch died... poor little thing was snuggled against the wall of the coop outside the nest and yet she still insists on siting on the nest. At the end a complete fail hatch.

    Just a question for anyone that has hatched under a duck/chicken I have one that hatched already but there seems to be no hatching happening with the other eggs. Although all 3 were there all at the same time and seem to grow at the same rate except for one which she stole about a week of so...
