Should I be worried?? My 21 Welsh Harlequin eggs are on day 29 and none of them have externally pipped yet. They're wiggling a lot and some of them are peeping. I know that almost all of them have internally pipped, and have been for the last 24 hours. I candled yesterday. Is there anything I...
Okay, my first hatch of the year!! Two ducklings hatched last night (both needed assistance). The lady I got te eggs from only owns Welsh Harlequin ducks and one female Buff Orpington duck... So I'm very confused. The yellow duckling is very clearly a female Welsh Harlequin... But what about the...
Is anyone else having a lot of success?? I set 27 eggs (3 of them were out in the incubator 2 weeks before the other 24) and 26 of them are developing! I haven't lost a single one!
I have 3 duck eggs due to hatch on April 24th and 23 more due to hatch on May 6th.. They're all in the same incubator and I don't have another one to use as a hatcher.. Is this okay? Can I keep them together and only open the incubator to turn the other eggs? I'll spray the eggs that are...
Okay! The little zebra finch has hatched!! He's so tiny it's hard to tell if it's actually a bird. I could only get one good picture before mama bird wanted to sit on him again. Lol
The egg is the size of a dime (Canadian), so shows you how small he is!
Here he is with the other egg
I just went to go check on the two eggs my zebra finches are sitting on and... One of them has pipped! We'll have a little baby by tomorrow morning! Pictures to follow :)
I also have Welsh harlequin ducks due to hatch this month! Mine are going to hatch on the 24th, so pretty close to yours. Welcome to the hatch-a-long! :)
They weren't roughly handled at all, they were laid fresh and I picked them up. They've been incubating for just over 3 days now. I can already see veins in the other eggs, but nothing in these two.
Hey guys, I need some help! It looks like the yolks in 2 of my Welsh Harlequin eggs have ruptured! They were fine when I got them, I'm just wondering what might have caused it?? After 2 days of incubating they just burst..
This is the burst one
And this is a normal one
I just set 5 Welsh Harlequin duck eggs this morning (5am), so they're due to hatch on Thursday, April 24th! I'm so excited :D
They're in my homemade incubator so hopefully everything goes well. I've had 2 successful hatches in it before, so I'm optimistic. :)
I'll join! I was planning on being part of the Easter Hatch a Long, but it doesn't look like that's going to work out :(
I'm gonna be setting some mutt duck eggs sometime soon (once I can get a confirmed pickup date from the supplier). They'll probably hatch sometime around the 20th of April :)
