To those who might be interested. I was able to shoot a short video of one of my duck embyros moving inside the egg. You can view it on my facebook page @ http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?id=1577492306

Cool! How many are developing?
Out of 6 that I set all but one were developing. The one was a yolker and I already pulled it from bator. I plan to candle them again on day 14. hopefully they'll all hatch
Day 7. my regular light I use for candling went out so I'm using a medical scope light. Does everything look ok? Its getting harder to spot the embyro in all the eggs but that could be the light.

Well.....sorta....but in most cases....not really....once they hatch you will see that they all look nothing alike....some are almost entirely black while others have eyestripes and are a light buff color...they can be basically any pattern or color but the females will be sorta brown...
They are Golden 300 hybrid layer duck eggs. Boyfriend got them for my daughter and I. He thought this would help the time pass by since he is in the military and wont be around for the holidays. The drakes will have the same coloring as Black Swedish drakes and the ducks will have similiar...
