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

[Kiki]

Not worried at all. I know you've got this.

I don't like how slow they are.
It's a pain in the butt.

This is way off subject but tomorrow after you've had rest will you take a look at my pic of my flock from Cy's chatty thread and see that you think my girls look ok? No one really replied and I'm just wanting to be sure there's no telltale signs of any real concern. I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm still awake.
Going look now.

I see @ChickNanny13 is catching up now.
She is going to be sad that they aren't hatching right now and can't hear me freak out on the live.
I just know it.

I cheated, jumped to the end Dang, thought they'd have hatched by now but have read ducks & chicks can take more than a day to hatch. It's HARD work for them and @KikisGirls, remember "patience" Ok now that I know the duckies haven't hatched, I'll work reading backwards. Hope @cyrus does try hatching "shell less" eggs, that really would be interesting

 

[ChickNanny13]

I’m off to bed, but Kiki, remember that ducks will often make multiple pips before they start to zip, so don’t panic if they make more and don’t start zipping right away.

@KikisGirls go get some shut eye and charge up your phone. These won't be hatching as fast as the Horsie Eggs Geese eggs take a long time too ... Wonder if it's due to their bills being rounded while chicks are pointy? Ideas?

<yawn.....stretch......scratch......> Did I hear my name being called? Where’s me tae? Can’t wake up without me morning breakfast tae......

Ahhh too exciting! I think mine took almost 24hrs. I can't be sure because I found the external pip at 7pm on the 26th and came home from work at 7pm on the 27th and found the duckling. It could've ranged between 18hrs to 30hrs since I didn't check the shell in the morning of the 26th for the external pip.

Good morning all
The fox didn't come back. I'm still on edge.

 

[Kiki]

Guess what??


Slow pokes.
No duckies yet.
They are both still pretending to be woodpeckers.

Great! I'm so glad to hear everyone is ok.
