    Ok. I haven't heard chirping yet. I've had them in lockdown since last week so hopefully that doesn't hurt them.

    Yes, very sure. We know the exact date she started sitting on her nest. There was just the one day she was killed, a week ago today, that the eggs were left for 1/2 a day and were cold when we found them. But I wouldn't expect them to be this delayed...

    Òur momma was killed 4 days before eggs were due to hatch! Eggs were cold

    Update! It's day 31 and no hatches yet... I'm getting really worried that the humidity and temp drop is making it hard for them to hatch out. Can you take a look at this video of them and tell me of they are through the internal membrane? They have been like this for a few days now. Should I...

    My concern is, we found the eggs this way. So if they are external pips, there has been no change for 2 days. Which would lead me to believe the babies were starting the hatching process right before the momma was killed. Should we still sit back and wait? Also, I have the humidity around 70...

    Òur momma was killed 4 days before eggs were due to hatch! Eggs were cold

    Sady, our mallard was killed by something while sitting on her nest. Her babies were due to hatch in 4 days (we believe). When we got to her eggs, they were very cold. She could have been off the nest for up to 20 hours. We candled the eggs and most of the ducklings are alive and moving so we...
