    Anyone have Ancona/Swedish duck mix pictures?

    I mean it could be happening but I haven't noticed anything, her feathers aren't ripped out or anything and she doesn't seem nervous around them so I don't think so but again it's entirely possible

    Bad news. I open the eggs this morning and both babies were gone. Looks like they stopped developing several days ago, but were grown enough that they had all there external structures looking like birds. Thank you all for your encouragement and advice with this.

    My mom says I can try to use her old fetal heart doppler (for people babies), so I'm gonna try that later today. I want to wait til tommorow to try anything invasive.
