OMG, HERE WE GO!!!! MY TURN TO GET STRESSED OUT!!!!!
Day 22 for me, my call duck egg is getting ready to go into lock down..
WHY IS THIS ONE SO EXCITING? Well I'll tell you as you know I have been experimenting on a "LAZY METHOD" for hatching ducks, well this one IS THE EXPERIMENT......
The only thing I did differently compare to my first method, is I taped the egg to the turner keeping it laying flat, it will roll off if you don't, i did not touch it or sponge it at all... I was able to candle it by taking my phone with the flashlight app that's for free and shined it at the big end, there I could see his progress. Did not candle everyday in fact the most was about three times during the whole process. First time when it was a week old, second time at 14 days and the third time when he came off the turner which it today.
Now I always stop turning my eggs four days before hatching day, this gives them a chance to get into position, today is the fourth day before due date, tomorrow I will put him into LOCKDOWN. WOOOO HOOOOOO...
HE SHOULD HATCH BY MONDAY, IM SOOO EXCITED, SO NICE TO KNOW YOU DONT HAVE TO HAND TURN DUCK EGGS. STILL HAVE TO LAY THEM DOWN BUT AT LEAST NO HAND TURNING THEM.. WOOOOO
LET THE STRESS BEGIN!!!!!!!

Yay for you both!!! Share lots of pics. I still have 3 more days until lock down on my single little penciled call duck egg. I'm already a nervous wreck lol.
I can't wait to see if this works. If it does you've done a good thing for lazy people every where!! (me included)
Good luck!!!
Good luck!!!
Okay call me a dumbie but Im confused. Why didn't you just put it in the turner?
