Call duck eggs - day 29

[CoTrahan]

I have 21 call duck eggs in the incubator. Today is day 29 for some of them, but I don’t see anything indicating a pip. I candeled & definitely still see movement, but I thought there’d be more progress by now.

Your temperature may have been low. They could still hatch with extra time.

If you see movement I wouldn’t worry too much. They might just be a little late.

If things don’t progress this might help:

I like to always direct people to this link b/c it’s helped me a lot in the past.
But like the article mentions, make sure you don’t jump in too soon, I would keep candling and the second you‘re sure you don’t see movement, resort to the link.

I don’t think the ducks are too big from the picture you posted, but this link is pretty helpful as well:

Day 30...still see movement. They’re getting on my nerves with this nonsense.

They need assistance Call ducks have short necks and beaks. They almost always need assistance.
