➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[User395221]

This may not be what everyone want to hear but...how could I possible live with myself having failed at something like this.

You haven't failed. Even when everything is "done right" there will be losses and eggs that don't hatch. It's life.

Don't try again with eggs from the grocery, start with fresh and healthy eggs from known healthy parents. Even if the baluts had hatched, they could have had health and developmental issues from their handling.

I understand the emotional side of this, I've been following this thread, but starting with eggs of unknown origin just increases the chances that you'll have stress and upset.

I've seen too many threads on here of people having unsuccessful hatches from shipped eggs. It's upsetting.

I thought of this video and the ones that followed the whole time we followed this thread. It' "A Chick Called Albert".

What?
It's not?

Oh my.

It gets a tad better after a few thousand eggs, but you never grow out of it.

I vote for more balut babies!
