I have some issues with some of my call ducklings -still hatching.-
First, one came out before the yolk fully absorbed and so I put it in a bowl and let it settle down before it completely ripped off the yolk. But, now everything is dry and a little strand is connecting his abdomen to the egg...
My little call ducks have begin laying,
but the way they are positioned means the nest will fill with water with the rains coming this afternoon.
One nest is already halfway flooded.
What should I do?
I quickly candled all my eggs and they have appeared to have broken into the air cell,
and a few wobble now and again. But I hear no chirping.
I want to make sure to know when they internally pip,
so I know when to help with the external because they are call eggs.
I'll send photos if...
My little Call ducks are finally on lockdown.
I'm so excited, but I have to stay reasonable.
I have 5 eggs in there and I'm really impressed because their air cells were horrible but when I last checked them today, they seemed to have fixed themselves and look great!
All of them moved and...
So I have lil turkey eggs that are about one week away from hatching.
But, sudden wedding weekend has come up and that's when they are hatching!
So, I have an extremely broody hen that I feel horrible for because she is all broody and we have no rooster, and so my train of though was hey, why...
I'm a little bit stressed.
It's day 10, I checked all my eggs and they all have some form of a saddle.
They're developing fine but some aircells are worst than others and I don't know how to help.
They're call duck eggs and I only have 7 developing right now and I just want one to hatch,
but...
I have shipped Call duck eggs, which I checked today (day 5), just to see the ones that were looking promising because I've heard how tough they are to hatch.
I'm rather happy because 7/10 are looking pretty good, but one or two of them have rather large dips in the air cell. I know that can...
Does anyone know what days I should check my call ducks air cells?
Also, anyone have a diagram showing how large it should be the day of checking?
Any help would be appreciated!
Also, humidity recommendations would be very appreciated!
Thank you :).
Hi! I'm new here with a very simple question.
I'm about to start incubating Call Ducks, which I know are hard, but I'm up to the challenge!
But, they're shipped from a very good seller,
it's just when I let them sit for 24 hours like I've read,
do I unpack them and put them in like an egg carton...
