Duck Eggs Rocking?

[ecse129]

So yesterday I swear I saw my duck eggs rocking, but I brushed it off because it was only day 22. Now I read on another post that if the eggs are rocking they are ready for lockdown? They aren't supposed to hatch until Wednesday. Any advice would be great as this is my first duck hatch.

I just checked again and I am SURE one of the duck eggs was just rocking. They are in a Brinsea incubator on an automatic turner.

Do you think I should take them off the turner? I have seen at least three rock today.

I don't see how it would hurt now to take them off the turner. How many eggs do you have? I have 5 Pekin eggs due next week weekend myself

9 ducks, a mixed variety of some Pekins, Pekin mixes, Jumbo mixes, etc. I got them off of Ebay and the breeder shipped a variety.

Okay I put them into lockdown. Wish me luck!
