Very happy for you! It's always exciting to see movement. :yesss:

You're very welcome. I'm all for learning from others experiences and sharing mine. I had a couple of Dominique chicks that had died in the shell from my hatch last week but they did not turn dark. I wonder if it has something to do with the color and weird translucence of the ancona duck shells...

After candling and water candling with absolutely no movement and the eggs turning black, I made the decision to do egg autopsies. Taking care that if there was the slightest sign of life to take measures to do anything to save them. I have been reading a lot on saving preemies. They were all...

Mine seemed fine when I candled on day 18. And then the one that hatched 3 days early. I feel like I need to do something. Mine haven't smelled bad either. My humidity has been on the low side occasionally but my temp has been rock steady.

They haven't rocked any either. I had one hatch on Sunday while still in the turner on lockdown.

The lighter color where you can see the air cell is the original color.

A whitish color.

Duck. Ancona. Today is day 25.

These are the eggs that are due to hatch tomorrow. I'm worried because they are turning dark. Should I be worried?

I looked Sunday and realized I had an empty egg! This is what I found. We named her Early. This is Early today. Already 2 days old!

I'm so nervous! My duck eggs are due to hatch tomorrow and I'm worried. Here's the thing... Sunday (lockdown day) I looked through the window of the bator and an empty egg was staring at me!!! I found a perfectly dry little duckling stumbling around on the turner!!! It wasn't like that a few...

I had 4 clear and 8 quitters. There are 11 still in the bator. I'll be happy if 6 will hatch.

I candled my 8 ancona duck eggs Wednesday night (day 7) and had one quitter. Hoping the rest make it! :fl They're due august 6.

Woot! Had to move the chicken eggs in with the ducks. I couldn't get their incubator to hold steady after I added them. Now they're one big happy egg family until chicken lockdown. I have two weeks to get the other incubator ready for hatching.

I'm setting 23 Dominique eggs in the morning along with 8 Ancona duck eggs. The Chickens will be due to hatch July 30th, but the duck eggs will be due to hatch August 6th! Can I join?:yiipchick
