    Eggs dying??

    Hello everyone. I am incubating some indian runner duck eggs and I think they have all died :( I could see clear distinct veins in all eggs when candling and then one by one next time I checked the veins look really light and there is no movement whatsoever. I am really not sure what's happened.

    Please HELP my duckling!! I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG

    Hi sorry I've just seen your message! My duckling from the photo sadly died after a couple days. I didn't cull it although I should have I just couldn't do it 😅 I think the best method is to put a teatowl over its head and twist it's neck to break it or bang it's head reasonably hard.
