I picked up 7 call duck eggs and set them up in my incubator. I’ve heard call ducks can be really hard to hatch and typically need assistance when hatching. Looking for any and all advise from people who have experience with hatching call ducks. I appreciate the help :)
I recently hatched 4 healthy chicks. 2 hatched day 20 (saturday) and 2 hatched day 21 (sunday). Today is day 22 and the 5th and final egg pipped around 10am. I patiently waited all day. Only saw a little progress. (See first photo).
