    Please help!! call ducklings dying during hatch

    It’s true that you should not open the incubator, but call ducks are a little different. They are miniature ducks and have short bills and necks which makes it difficult for them to hatch un assisted (can’t reach the shell to crack egg). They almost always need help hatching. It’s a tough...

    Please help!! call ducklings dying during hatch

    I started with 7 eggs, all fertile and all were growing and developing fine. 3 days ago I candled and 2 of the eggs had died and stopped growing, no veins and the inside was yellow. There 2 both had much smaller airsacs then the rest so I’m assuming that is why they died? I removed those 2 and...

    Call duck eggs day 23. Will I need to assist them hatch?

    Can someone help, I just lost one of the ducklings, I made safety holes in 3 this morning (they internally pipped over 12 hours prior). Everything seemed fine, then this evening I noticed bruising on one of the eggs outside the air sac. I got worried to checked on the egg and saw no movement. I...

    Air sacs different sizes duck eggs day 23?

    So 2 of the eggs appear to have died I think. They were the ones with smaller air sacs. So far 4 of them have internal pips. Hoping they all hatch safely 🥺

    Call duck eggs day 23. Will I need to assist them hatch?

    They are not shipped, I got them locally. I candled this morning and I think one has internally piped, I can hear tapping and a bit of chirping as well. I have put them all into lockdown. We are on day 24

    Air sacs different sizes duck eggs day 23?

    I’ve heard call ducks sometimes hatch a bit early. Egg #1 seems to be already trying to break through the air sac for an internal pip. Do you recommend putting them in lockdown sooner? Especially if egg #1 pips? Will it hurt the other eggs to stop rotating them?

    Air sacs different sizes duck eggs day 23?

    I didn’t do that no, they have stayed in place. I wasn’t aware i needed to do that. Incubator is this one

    Air sacs different sizes duck eggs day 23?

    I am concerned with why the air sacs in my call duck eggs are different sizes. We are on day 23 and 2 of them have nice big air sacs (I can actually see one seems to be trying to push through the air sac to make an internal pip). The other 5 eggs air sacs are quite small still and I don’t...

    Call duck eggs day 23. Will I need to assist them hatch?

    I currently have 7 call duck eggs incubating. I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems they are difficult to hatch due to the short neck/bill. It’s getting closer and closer to lockdown and im wondering how I should proceed. Some threads say to candle and do a safety hole when they...

    Advise for successfully incubating call ducks

    I picked up 7 call duck eggs and set them up in my incubator. I’ve heard call ducks can be really hard to hatch and typically need assistance when hatching. Looking for any and all advise from people who have experience with hatching call ducks. I appreciate the help :)

    Could i have saved this chick?

    I recently hatched 4 healthy chicks. 2 hatched day 20 (saturday) and 2 hatched day 21 (sunday). Today is day 22 and the 5th and final egg pipped around 10am. I patiently waited all day. Only saw a little progress. (See first photo). About 30 minutes ago I went to check on the egg and didn't see...
