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...
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...
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...
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 :)
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...
Day 26 and my duckling has pipped but on the opposite end of the aircell and at the bottom of the egg... Only some egg shell is broken but looks like he's trying to get through membrane currently. From what I read they are supposed to pip in the aircell. So I'm very worried...Someone please tell...
I’m on day 20 of incubating my duck egg. Only one developed out of the 4 unfortunately so I’m very nervous. I’ve been having issues keeping humidity consistently at 55%. It’s usually 60% and then will drop down to like 25-30%. Where I live is very dry so I have to add water a few times a day. I...
I started with 4 duck eggs, 2 were for sure infertile and one is developing good but this last one I’m confused about. I’ve never been able to see veins but it also looks way different then my 2 eggs that were not fertile. Photos below. First photo is my non fertile egg, then my fertile egg (on...
I picked up 4 ducks eggs from a local farm on May 22, 2021. By day 7 I realized only one of them was actually fertile and the other 3 were not developing at all.
Now I feel very worried for this one egg I have left. Instead of having 4 chances to hatch ducklings, I only have one... I feel like...
This is my first time Incubating duck eggs. I have 4 eggs and unfortunately 3 of them seem to not be progressing at all. I'm guessing they were not fertile eggs to begin with. The last one seemed to be doing well. I had candled it on day 5 and saw some good veins. I was hopeful that at least one...
Hello,
I am new to incubating eggs. Currently I have 4 duck eggs in my EZ simply incubator.
This incubator does not have a build in hygrometer so I bought one to try and keep track. From what I have read online, humidity for the first few weeks should be about 55%. I have been having issues...
