How long does she usually stay at your place? If it’s only a couple hours it’s very possible that she has a nest. I would reccomend that you keep her locked up at your place for a day or 2 as she would believe her eggs are dead. That’s how I cure my broody chickens.
Hi again, it’s currently day 33 and almost all of the ducks have internally piped. It’s been 19 hours or more since the first one piped, should I make an air hole? Or do they take more than a day to externally pip? Thanks
Hello BYC! I’m a first time Hatcher of our pekin/mallard or Mallard ducklings.
They are being naturally hatched and are 33 days old, there is life in everyone(12) and almost all of them are internally piped, one of them piped yesterday about when I got home about 19 hours ago or earlier, I don’t...
My duck eggs are about 29 days old and I have checked all 12 of them and they haven’t piped yet. They are being sat on by the momma, I have candled them many times and they are alive. They are mallard or a pekin/mallard. Should I do something?
