    They hatched they hatched! Mallard Ducklings. One an unusual colour?

    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...

    Mallard egg, day 24 no movement. Still alive?

    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!
