its so sad... what is the latest in the year that you hatch duck eggs? i wanted to try again but not sure if its too late..

I used to hatch year round. A little inconvenient in the winter but it all depends on your set up. Wisconsin here. I had no issues.

You can go ahead and try again if you’d like.

Do you have a calibrated thermometer? How many thermometers are you using? I always used at least 3. Calibrated hygrometer? Always at least one. Sorry if I missed it. What incubator are you using? How old are your birds? What do you feed them? I'm sorry most of those eggs look no good.

This is what I use. My ducks are 7 months old. They eat grain from tractor supply and free range.

Was it difficult to intoduce them to the flock when they were old enough?

What do you mean by grain? I would definitely add at least one more thermometer and a second hygrometer. You can get them on Amazon. Wishing you the best!

Not any more difficult than normal. Just added heat to the coop.

they didn't fight?

The older birds will always hassle the younger birds a bit but I practiced "can see but can't touch" integration. So they would be in the coop but separated in a fenced area. Plenty of sight barriers in the coop and run. Small holes cut in the wire for only the baby ducks to get back into their fenced area. Eventually wind up with peaceful cohabitation.
