    This is exactly what happened to my baby mallard. My heart is forever broken. He was perfect and everyone kept saying wait, wait, wait and I KNEW something was wrong. I kept thinking I should interfere(very carefully), but everyone said wait another day. I saw the rhythmic movement at the bottom...

    Mallard duck day 30 of incubation.

    I opened him up when I no longer saw movement when I candled him. He died. I believe he suffocated and I’m so angry with myself for not opening him up earlier and listening to my gut. I kept seeing, “wait, wait, wait” and I did and now he’s dead.

    Mallard duck day 30 of incubation.

My big concern is that he is not positioned correctly and went in from the bottom and is unable to get through properly.

    Mallard duck day 30 of incubation.

    Hi! I realize this is a late thread, but I saw what you said about the bruising. There are dark spots on my mallard egg that I rescued(the mother kicked it out and chipped him in the process). We are on day 30 not counting the first day. I am seeing movement on the bottom by the dark spots or...
