Call Ducks - Over the 26th day mark

Any movement at all??

From what I see, and I could be wrong, but they all look like they have stopped.
Last one, and possibly first one, may still have a chance.

I can’t see any movement, I thought I herd a cheap but I think that was wishful! I’m going to leave them in for a few more days and cross my fingers but I think they’ve stopped I’m going to try again for sure but not sure weather to hatch some bantums first and then try putting them under them?

I brought two twin Pygmy today so it’s not all sad news!

Have you hatched any calls under a bantum? Do you think I should give the incubator another go?

Thanks for all the help!! It’s been invaluable!

Congrats on the pygmys!

Do you mean try hatching under a bantam chicken? I have not tried duck eggs with a chicken, but many folks do it that way. You could try just hatching some chicks first, might be a good option just for the experience? Calls are a challenge of their own! But by all means, try the incubator again. You were definitely close! I think your temps may have just been a little low, so they developed, just maybe too slowly.
And it's been my pleasure to share whatever I can with you. I'll still hope something happens with these eggs too.

Thank you! I am going to buy the next lot from a local market and try increasing my temp just a smidge and go off the temp separate to the incubator!

Thank you again! I’ll keep you posted on what happens and now doubt have some more questions with the next lot!
