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

HALP!
Candled the 4 remaining eggs. 3 have big air cells. Started on the 9th + 21 = 30th for hatch target. 1 still has veins and is half the air cell size. Do they catch up quickly?
2 have for shore movement. Big shadows. Lots of movement.
2 have I think so movement. They wouldn't cooperate. I don't know if I was wiggling them or not.

#4 looks like internal pip with huge air cell.
#2 is the half way air cell.
#1 and 3 are big air cells but not dancing for me.

What's your humidity?

It’s hard to tell without pictures unfortunately

It is 70% outside right now. Probably higher than that under the hen.

Why are you candling a broody hatch at lockdown?

Points for Northside!

Same here! One of the things I love about pugs is how people craving they are. I tried to sleep with the Chihuahua after my previous pug passed away, but she would only sleep at the foot of the bed. Wasabi wants to be right next to you if not laying on you. He also leans against my leg when in cooking.

Ruger leans against you all the time but he’s 39 inches tall at the shoulder and 180lbs. So you tend to fall over.

Using Pugsy's chart from a lot of pages back, days 17-21 show smaller air cells than I'm looking at. Even #3 is bigger than the chart.

So, if one has internally pipped, 3 days to chick-ish. Fun times.

Lockdown starts on day 17. That is tomorrow.

And Kiki does it...

Perhaps I should have said "at hatch". Are they really internally pipping on day 16?? Are they quail eggs?

Is it this one? This is for ducks so the air cells may be different I have never incubated ducks before so I couldn’t tell you if they are.
