Thanks so much to everyone on this forum who have helped me over the past few weeks with all kinds of newbie questions.
I had to make safety holes in all 5 eggs (2 of the 7 quit) but they did the hatch on their own between 7:20 and 11:55 this morning.
Here they are! I’m totally in love with...
Hurrah!! How long can I expect before these two hatch now? Is is ok if they’ve pipped at day24 or could it cause problems?
I don’t think I can sleep I’m so excited!
Thank you!
Hi
wow what a rollercoaster hatching is! One egg at 25 days I’m not sure has made it and two eggs at day 24 that I think have pipped! Can anyone confirm for me please?
I hear chirping too! Mallard Ducks, incubated from 19th/20th May.
Hiya I’m going to take some pictures this evening if I can manage it - this ones due to hatch on Sunday/Monday next week but it does look quite different from the others (the others were incubated 2 days after the first).
I’ve kept it in the incubator but worried about it exploding if the...
Hey
I’m incubating some mallard eggs and I’ve not seen movement in one of the eggs for 2 days. The others I can see clearly are moving. The one that’s not moving anymore has a smaller air sack than the others. How can I tell if it’s still alive?
thanks!
I’ve taken a couple more pics from the videos I did of them to show a bit more of the egg(s)
oh thank you thank you that’s made me totally happy ❤️
In that case we have 7 out of 7 eggs growing well at day 14 and day 16. My little boys will be thrilled if they hatch! Thank you X
I’ve taken a couple more pics from the videos I did of them to show a bit more of the egg(s)
The first pic is the embryo and then the second pic is the back Of where the embryo is
Hi no it’s the bottom end - mainly on the back of where the embryos are, but all of the embryos are still growing and moving.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!
Hi please can someone help? I’m on day 14 to day 16 with these eggs (first time hatching).
All 7 embryos are growing well, and moving, but have started to develop dark spots (red/black)
is this normal?
Please help I’m getting very attached to the eggs!
Hi All
I have 7 mallard eggs that I’m incubating (first time doing this - I’ve rescued the eggs from being taken by foxes)
I’ve candled every day to check progress. This egg has lots of movement (the embryo’s on the other side) but has a blood spot. Is this normal or is it likely the egg will...
Thanks so much!! The eggs developing really well and it’s so dark now I can barely see through most of the egg - so I think it’s healthy! And only one :)
Hi
I’m new to the forum so not sure how to post a video..
I’ve got 7 eggs incubating currently (first time I’ve done this) and one of the eggs appears to have two embryos inside. What’s the chance of that one hatching? What can I do to make sure that they’re both safe?
If there’s a way to...
