    Chick is moving in egg, but no pipping yet

    You are intervening where you should not. It concerns me that two of your hatched chicks died. This shouldn’t happen. Have you kept them warm constantly??

    Are my ducks eggs still alive?

    Thanks. I’ve put some other eggs in her nest for now and have moved 9 Of her eggs in to the incubator. ( I can’t fit any more in). I can’t be certain what day she began sitting on her eggs.... but I think they are due any time from the 30th. So another 8 days.

    My duck Heather, has been sitting on 12 eggs for 21 days now. However, we had a problem two days ago, where I believe she couldn’t get back to her eggs because her and her other 3 duck friends all escaped the enclosed area in the field and I don’t think Heather could get back in to her nest...
