I’m baffled as to what is going on here?
Day 11 of incubation. Eggs in automatic incubator which turns eggs every 2 hours
Other eggs have hatched fine preciously
I’ve been checking and looking and can’t see a problem and thought these eggs were growing fine
Theres lots of moment and good vainage...
I bought this water feeder for some 4 week old ducklings
There currently still living inside because it’s too cold to go outside..but they splash the water about everywhere so I’ve bought one of these so they can always have clean water to drink, then the other water they mess with can just be...
Hi unfortunately he didn’t mAke it, was absolutely gutted....I think he was just stuck the wrong way round and couldn’t make his way out
Such a shame because it was the only call duck egg I had incubated so was hoping for success x
Hi....just checked him again left him alone for 4 hours to dry off abit
He’s deffo dead in there
No movement at all...I’m not sure if he was stuck in the egg for a while or if me messing with it has killed it....I’m absolutely gutted
Can he still survive now I’ve opened the air sac?
And some of the membranes have been opened?
He’s still firmly upside down though which is my main concern?
How will be hatch out? X
The lighter parts of the duck are the back legs
I’ve made them out clearly as it moved and I could see feet
But the rest of the duck is clearly way up in the egg back to front
Really not sure what to do now
The membranes was not broken the air cell had not been touched before I opened it
So when do I help?
I’ve no idea what I’m waiting for
With him being 4 days over and not being able to hatch I thought I should help it now
But with it bleeding slightly it clearly is too early or not ready but he’s upside down so worried if I don’t help he will suffocate anyway
Hi, I’ve posted a couple of times about my call duck egg
We’re now on day 30
After candling I didn’t see any movement and presume it had died
Today I have opened air cell
I could see membranes and see they looked quite tight around the duck, I presumed he had suffocated
Removed some of the...
No nothing at all
Today is day 30 and I’ve candled egg again didn’t see any movement at all so peeled away at air sac saw the membrane which looked tight and dry so presumed he had suffocated in egg
Removed a small part of membrane saw abit of blood so left it alone then saw a movement of the...
