    Duck Egg Internal Pip?

    So it’s day 23 for this ducky and the air cell has increased a LOT in the past few days. I marked it on day 21 and you can definitely see the difference now! I just checked on ducky to see what he’s up to, is this an internal pip on day 23? I can not hear chirping, the egg has been rocking and...

    Duck Names

    Today I have started incubating 6 duck eggs again :) Most likely, all 6 won't hatch but hopefully a few of them will be successful this time! So, I'd like to know what I could name my duckies and would love to know what everyone else has called their ducks! <3 Me and my partner currently like...

    No pip? Day 27 Duck Egg Incubation

    Hi I have been reading through some past posts, I am just a little bit worried as my duck egg has no internally pipped (as i’m aware of) and it’s coming to the end of Day 27 nearly Day 28. Apparently my duck egg is a Cherry Valley Duck Egg. The duck appears quite small, but I might just be...

    Duckling Eggs incubating- fertile or not?

    Hi! This is my 5th year of incubating duckling eggs but the earliest I’ve done it (usually do it in April/May, but had to do it early this year because I’m travelling). I’m worried that the eggs I have are not fertile as when I candle them I don’t see development. I’m on day 5/6 today (they were...

    Same Crack in every egg

    We have had the exact same crack in the exact spot of what I believe is our Cayuga’s egg for 3 consecutive days now. What could be causing this?

    Cayuga Egg - Fertile?

    Hello! My Cayuga recently started sitting on her eggs about a week and a half - two weeks ago. I’m trying to decipher which eggs are fertile. I’m especially struggling with this one. I don’t think I can see any movement inside. It’s actually pretty hard to see what’s inside. Any thoughts?

    Confirming this egg is fertile.

    So previously i’ve posted about my first time hatching ducks. When i posted the photos of my duck eggs i was told that only one of them was fertile. I cracked the eggs (exept for the one i was told is fertile) and yep, no baby. So it’s day 29 of this fertile egg being in the incubator. We can’t...

    Weird stuff on my egg

    While collecting eggs, I found this egg that has a weird abundance of bug egg(?) looking stuff on it. The egg was rotten anyways so I didn’t mind throwing it away but it was pretty gross. Just out of curiosity, anyone know what it is? Image below (it’s kinda nasty)

    Found ducks eggs

    We had to have a big old oak cut down on out property and the workers knocked on my door to let me know there were ducks living in the tree. As they got closer the pair flew away and they realized that there were eggs. They were able to salvage a couple and we have them in an incubator. It looks...

    Abandoned egg found on UC Davis Campus

    I found a mystery egg on UC Davis campus, I’m fairly sure it’s a duck egg. I was recently at the UC Davis campus because my class was going on a camping trip and we stopped at a park/garden area for lunch on the campus. I noticed a lot of smashed and crushed white eggs along the paths in this...

    (Duck Eggs) Can anyone tell me if these are still living or not?

    Hi, New to incubation, I have 5 eggs, I've candled them all and 2 are moving by themselves but the other 3 don't seem to be. Just wondering if anyone can tell me if they are still alive or not as I've read that if you don't spot and remove dead eggs, they can explode. Thanks :)

    HELP can’t tell if the humidity was too low, duck eggs. Does the texture of the broken duck egg too dry? Is there any way to fix this.

    Runner eggs

    We have 2 blue runners and a fawn and white runner in our flock. Total of 12 hens. We are currently getting about 5 eggs a day and are certain who 2 of the eggs belong to but we just started getting a much smaller egg. Maybe size of chicken egg and it almost has a green tint to it. We tried to...

    Safe to eat???

    Is this duck egg safe to eat? Both pictures are of the same egg. It was laid 4/3 and today is 4/7. Only 4 days old. Also was laid in their coop and collected the morning it was laid. From my research, could be just blood spot? I read they can be darker but most of the pictures I saw looked...

    Are these duck eggs fertilized?

    These duck eggs have been in the incubator for 6-7 days now and there are still no veins. Are the eggs not fertilized? Do I throw them out and start over? Thank you

    Soft shells in mature duck

    My female duck has been laying soft shell eggs for about a month now after a really cold winter. It's finally been warm for a steady 2 weeks though and when nothing changed I've began to get concerned. It is her first mating season since I added a male to my flock, however she doesn't seem to be...

    HELP!! I found an abandoned duck egg outside… what do I do??

    I found an abandoned duck egg outside. (I live near a canal with ducks so it’s definitely a duck egg plus it had duck poop on it). I tried looking for the nest but couldn’t find any around. I waited to see if the mother would come around but nothing happened. I then touched the egg to see if it...
