Brown spot on mallard egg

Up date on dark egg, I have left it in the incubator for now.. will take it out if it keeps turning really dark..but I really think it might be fine... took a very bright LED flashlight and saw a shadow move...:wee
 
But it will be rewarding if I can have just one duckling out of five, I would be so excited!!
The momma Duck has tried soooo many times to have those ducklings survive, she did have about 12 last year but they disappeared... that poor momma Duck called half the day for them, it got to the point she was making me cry so hard....
Poor mama. We hatched a duck for my mother in law because turtles and hawks kelp eating the babies. we're keeping it now so the others ducks don't kill or be mean to it because they didn't hatch it. We tried to introduce it to the other ducks a few days ago but it wanted no part of it. the duck was worried about the chicks lol. It won't even swim unless we put the chicks in the pool on the dry part. I hope it will eventually figure out it's a duck.

Something to laugh about!!! I have an egg that's been rocking so much it has gotten very close to another egg.. funny looking but should I maybe move it away...a little worried that Rockie might crack the other egg...
don't worry about it. That sometimes helps the other eggs to get started.
 
That's too funny!! Well all is calm here now... hopefully I will sleep tonight..haven't slept really good in about a week..can't tell you just how much I appreciate you guys Helping....

That's what we're here for. To help each other. I'm still learning lol. But if you have a question that some of us don't know, chances are we know someone that can answer your question. I'd be lost without the members on here.
