I believe balut eggs are cooked.....

 

[THescovieguy]

no they are raw

 

[needlessjunk]

Bulat eggs are incubated for 17 days and then the fetus is killed by boiling them in the shell to be eaten. So bulat eggs cannot hatch since they are dead.

no they are raw

No, they are cooked. It's made by incubating a chicken or duck egg to half-term and then boiling it like any other egg. So I'm not sure what on earth your question is. Did you buy a balut egg from a food vendor and stick it under your muscovy hen, or something?

no,i buyed it raw you can buy them raw plus update they are hatching

 

[buff goose guy]

you used the wrong term balut is cooked you should have just said uncooked eggs or raw eggs.

I am sure what @THescovieguy bought were eggs that were at half term sold by someone who was selling them so you could make "fresh" balut. So the proper question and answer that should make everyone happy would be:

Q: Are fresh uncooked eggs incubated to half-term and sold for making balut able to be hatched?

A: If they have not been allowed to cool too long or been handled too roughly and the duckling has not stopped developing they should be able to be hatched, but it would be better to get an egg that hasn't already started developing so you know the development hasn't been interrupted.

Even if that is the case, I highly doubt the vendor kept them at proper incubating temps once they were taken out to sell at the market like that. They were probably DOA but still fresh enough to cook and consume.

I agree your scenario is most likely which is why I said an undeveloped egg would be better. But the OP said theirs are hatching so if they were brought straight to market, they could be fine. Normal eggs are tolerant a couple hours of off time so ducks can do a quick eat/drink/bathe occasionally. But as a rule, I would advise against it as in most cases you are right, the developing duckling would probably have died or at least degraded to the point it would likely fail shortly after hatching. I hope the OP lets us know what happens and if they hatch posts pics of the little darlings.(There are never enough 'ling photos in the world).
