    Help! Is this egg dead? (Day 30)

    I am afraid that my friend opened the duck egg too early and it is the last survivor after an incubator meltdown. It had not internally pipped yet and the membrane isn’t dry. However, it seems unresponsive and the veins have become less prominent and are fading. Is the poor baby dead? The most...

    Hi I have a mallard duck egg that internally pipped on match 2nd (3 days ago) I started the incubation on February 2nd (so it was on day 24).

    Pekin Egg bleeding?

    This is my first time incubating eggs. These are pekin ducklings. I’ve done a ton or research. It’s day 29 and these babies have pipped last night on day 28.

    Hi there, I have 6 Indian Runner duck eggs in my small, automatic turning incubator - first time we have incubated ducks. All 6 seemed fine on candling at day 20, but 2 of the ducklings have always candled larger than the other 4 for some reason... a hotspot in the incubator maybe? These 2...

    Second Time’s A Charm?

    I’m getting ready to attempt to incubate Ancona duck eggs for the second time. My first DIY incubator was a bust. I made it out of a 10gal aquarium, and I think it just made it too hard to keep the temp steady. My new one is a styrofoam cooler. Plus I added a computer fan. I’ve been running it...

    Duck Eggs Are Late.

    My welsh harlequin duck has been sitting on her eggs for 31 days now. I’m getting concerned that they aren’t going to hatch. When should I start worrying?

There is a slight hole as well in the internal membrane from the pip which I think the duckling is breathing...
