SAD SAD SAD News, last night the Mamma duck was off her eggs, she went for a swim, enjoying life without the hassle. So I snuck up to her nest to check out her eggs. Needless to say, one had exploded, So I candled the rest, she was not happy about me being there, she marched right over and sat, biting the crap out of me, but I had to check them to make sure there wasn't any more that were going to explode because usually once that happens the entire hatching is lost.
So Out of the 6 eggs that were left, Three were Rotten, OMG boy were they. So I left the finally three in there, well 30 minutes later I noticed she was off swimming again. I thought that was weird, she's yapping, and yapping. I waited about 2 hours to see if she would go back on the eggs and she didn't. I hope I wasn't to late but I grabbed the left over eggs, they were pretty COLD since when I went out there there was Frost on the ground. Popped those bad boys in the incubator, BOY did they start sweating. LOL.. Normal of course, Her due date was Nov. 6Th. I think where I went wrong is me checking her eggs while she was sitting. She bit me with each egg. LOL But I think because I disturb her nest, she was ****** and done. **** ME... But in the long run, I think it was for the best because she would have had more exploding eggs. So I waited 30 minutes checked the eggs and didn't see any movements. Ill check them again tonight, perhaps I didn't give them enough time to thaw out. Crossing fingers will still have a couple of them alive.
