double duckling

[nurse vs duck]

So being my first time hatching ducks, I have a twin egg... they're 5 days over due but still moving but slowly..Do I just keep watching for a few days? Or do they not usually survive?

Greetings from Kansas and . Pleased to have you aboard! I'm a hatching novice so I will defer to the experts in this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/5/incubating-hatching-eggs
If that doesn't pan out you can also try the duck thread here https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks
Good luck and happy hatching!

Welcome to BYC! It's great to have you.

It's pretty rare for twin eggs to even make it to hatch day. And by 5 days past? I'm shocked they aren't dead yet. I'd say they probably didn't develop right, and most likely aren't going to hatch.

Hello there and welcome to Backyard chickens. You might like to check out this thread, somebody had a twin egg that hatched, though only one lived. Good luck with them!
