    Just wondering what I should do about the bacteria? Noticed the smell is getting bad in the incubator now.. Obvs from the after birth. But will it farm the u hatched eggs?

    Help! 2 have hatched but 2 have not.

    Thank you. Huge help. They are both alive inside the egg. Can see movement in both. Should I remove the two hatched ducklings now as they have dried.?

    Help! 2 have hatched but 2 have not.

    Yesterday they all pipped. The hatching started this morning and the 1st came out at 4ish today. The two that haven't hatched were quite active untill the first duckling came out. They have broke through the membrane but haven't done anything since. No noise coming from the eggs. 😔

    Hi, Today my magpie ducklings hatched. Well, two have and two which have pipped and were moving well haven't. I'm only worried because they don't seem to be doing anything now. The two that have hatched have battered them about. Should I take the two out that have hatched out. Or is there a...

    Hi, has anyone successfully hatched Ducks in a homemade incubator?

    I bought 6 magpie duck eggs online. They arrived I let them rest. Went to put them into the (tiny) incubator and nope! They didn't all fit. My husband was awesome and whipped up a homemade one (pics to follow) so far so good. I see them on YouTube but not sure of the success rate. Thanks.

    Help!

    Ive got a very basic incubator. So no fancy bits. It only reads the temp. They have arrived now. So I'll let them stand until tomorrow lunch time. I've put the incubator on to stabilise. Fingers toes and arms crossed 🤞

    Hi...

    Thank you everyone. Ahh I feel so welcome. What a lovely community 🤗 I'm going to get eggs next week hopefully. But do I need two incubators to be successful? I have a basic 7 egg incubator. I'll take a photo to post with this. Do I need a different one for when they are due to hatch? Thanks 😊

    Hi...

    Thanks. Wish I joined before trying to incubate first time. Gutted as I've lost all 7 eggs to bad Information. Oh I guess it would be.. Abba-us-t-with. 😁

    Hi...

    Wow. Just a few then.. I'm not planning on getting a rooster. They are awesome but I'm veggie and won't eat fertile eggs. Plus I don't plan on having to many. Just a few for pets mostly.

    Hi...

    Ahhh okay. It was moving still on day 33. I was expecting it to hatch on day 29, Then read it could go to day 35. But I'm guessing it's gone now as movement stopped 48 hours ago.
