    Call ducks beak not formed

    I’ve hatched call ducks before. But I’ve got a very interesting problem right now. I order my call duck hatching eggs off eBay. And today is day 28. I usually check around day 26 and I saw nothing. One had died so I opened it up and its whole top beak hadn’t formed. The second dead one I found a...
