duck eggs?

[ducklover101202]

What day can ducks hear you from inside the egg and also what day can you see the egg moving a little from the bird inside or does the egg only move when they are going to hatch?

I couldn't hear mine peep 'till they had a pretty good pip in the egg. However, my greenhouse where they hached is pretty loud with my aquaponics and all. I never saw the eggs bump around either, until just before the ducklings popped out. I could definatly feel the little buggers moving in the egg when I held them though. That started around day 25. It took them 28 days to pip, and 29 1/2 to actually hatch. Don't interfere, let them take their time. They have a lot of external yolk in the first 24 hours after pipping. Unfortunatly I found that out the hard way by helping my first one out of the egg. RIP.

The others are doing great though!!
