I have just had a duckling hatch today 12-3:30 I'm not sure what time because I was at a family's house for Thanksgiving but as soon as I got home I looked in the incubator and the duckling was out but it's feet are messed up... They are bent back and not webbed like normal. Also there was a big...
I put 8 duck eggs in the incubator last Tuesday and all are fertile and growing good but some of them the embryo is down really close to the air pocket and idk if thats bad or if they will be okay.
Unfortunately the duck that was trying to hatch didn't make it. I went in there to try to help it but I waited too long, the other 2 ducklings are still doing great. I threw away the other eggs that were left in the incubator because I don't think they were alive, cleaned it and I'm going to...
I was hoping for 4 too but i know for sure the 2 that are out are doing great and seem healthy, still waiting on the other one to hatch i think it might need help but i don't want to try and then something bad happen, so i think i'm just going to let it work its way out and hope for the best
The 2 that have hatched yesterday and this morning are doing great! The other one has made more progress than I thought, I think it will be hatched sometime tonight or morning. And the 4th one hasn't even externally pipped so I candeled it earlier and I don't think it has even internally pipped...
1 egg hatched yesterday while I was gone and one today between 4-7 am. They look exactly alike but the newest one has a black spot on its beak, they are so cute!! Will post pictures later the new one also dried off super fast and they are doing great just waiting on the other one to hatch all...
Update: another one hatched last last night/this morning, I think one is having trouble but I don't want to risk anything and help him out the shell. And I can't tell if the other egg has pepper yet and if it has I don't think its gonna be good.. I'll update again in the afternoon
It has been over 48 hours since it has externally pipped and even though its been that long I am going to wait and see if it can hatch by itself because it has a big hole to breath from and is moving peeping but in a little bit I am going to visit family for a few hours and I'm just hoping...
I just got up to check the humidity and it stayed the whole night and the egg I thought was going to hatch today is hating!!!! He\she has made wonderful progress! I looked in the bator because I heard a lot of peeping and the baby has its beak out and a decent size pip but hasn't made a zip yet...
I started with 9 eggs in the incubator on September 24 when I candled them 2 had started forming but died at some point, 2 were infertile, and one had a chip in it. The other 4 are still going strong! Day 26 today 3 of them have external pipped and I can't tell if the fourth one has. Over night...
