Due to unforeseen circumstances I was forced to do a staggered hatch in one incubator. I had 11 Welsh Harlequin eggs and 11 Muscovy eggs. The Harlequin eggs hatched out yesterday. They were horribly shrink wrapped and only 3 made it (with assistance).
Today is lock down day for the Muscovy eggs. I've made sure the humidity is up to hopefully avoid any more shrink wrap issues. But is the damage already done?
I candled them quickly before committing to lock down. I only saw movement in 1 out of the 11. In the others I could clearly see a duckling taking up most of the egg, but no movement.
Have they already passed from the earlier humidity issues or are they just resting while they prepare to hatch?
What are your honest opinions and experiences? Please!
Thanks!
