i hatched 2 pullet eggs recently think of it this way bantam eggs are very tiny Quail eggs ect. and the babies do fine the chicks i hatched are happy and healthy little fluffy butts
i have had eggs pipped that the chicks died they havent exploded for me just dont do anything but if you have eggs that arent pipped oh yeah they can explode and will and the smell is almost impossible to get rid of
Everyone is going to be different on this but i cross my mallard drakes with my call females and they have hatched nice babies also i fed my oyster shell just like my chickens because there eggs did that at first and didnt harden on there own.
Chances are if they pipped already its not one of them and i could think it was from your duck other then that i dont really know im sorry i couldnt have been more help
Your going to get alot of different views on this but i have always just left them on the wire the last 3 days and had great hatches i guess i just figure the "Broody" hen always has her eggs on the side and no standing up i dont know its really your call.

I honestly have to say out of every chicken i have ever owned my Red sex Link have given me the most eggs every hen lays everyday they truly are egg laying machines these girls just my opinion.
Its really hard to say i had chicks hatch on friday which was day 21 and today is day 23 and one just pipped about 20 minutes ago i usually keep my eggs in untill day 25 just to be sure there is no late bloomers "Sending Hatching vibes your way"
i have one lone egg im hatching because i tried a cross between a buff orpington rooster and a white leghorn hen my question is i picked the egg up to listen to it(day 20) and its chirping and i can feel it rolling around inside the egg how long does it usually take before it pipps on the outside?

I guess what question would be if a member of byc for many years why only 100 post? Katty actually knows whats she is talking "edited for content".
