    I don't know if mandarins would but movement in the water would probably entice them a bit to try I don't know if they could get them down though since yeah the size would be a very important factor

    I can't hear them peep yet, but imma check when I get home, I candled them two days ago and they were moving in the egg but not the air cell and I guess they're just trying to position themselves

    Wild Wood Ducks Nesting Over Cement Driveway?

    Well the leaves and grass might help but it's still concrete underneat so maybe around the day there gonna hatch you can put an air matrice below it, or if you do alooooottttt and like layer upon layer upon layer of leaves and grass or even hay then that could work, but also just be on the look...

    Okay so if the eggs are moving but not peeping, and they haven't broken through yet should I still turn off the turner? Like whenever I talk to them, getting them used to my voice, they move and wobble
