The Duck ABC's :
Make sure it is the correct niacin.
You want nicotinic acid.
You do not want inositol hexanicotinate, which is inositol that has been esterified with niacin on all six of inositol's alcohol groups. This one is usually sold as "flush-free" or "no-flush" niacin.
OMG...Good...
I ADDED A FEW MORE PICS OF THE EGGS.. Hopefully you will be able to get a closer/better look inside. ~DO YOU THINK THE DUCKIES ARE GETTING ENOUGH AIR/OXYGEN? ~The Egg on the Red Rag seems to be really the only Active one now & the white membrane which is hiding the duckling, Dries Real Fast in...

listen to one of those eggs? i have 1 more egg not been touched yet cuz i didnt see it move while n bator. wasnt sure if it was alive. i'll brb i'll listen to the eggs real quick
at 1st i was thinking it looked like there was gonna b a baby duck sitting there n the egg, but now im thinking it looks like they weren't done growing/developing yet it was a weird feeling to feel the baby start moving like that. i was thinking of a heart beating in my hand. lol
they became very active when i was poking holes ect.. then they acted life less TILL i misted them a little bit ago. the pic with yellow in it didnt have all that white. the first 2 pictures /eggs look like there might b yolk they looked more slimy. Why do they look so different?
