Duck hatching help.

[MulberryC87]

Hey there,

We have 2 Aylesbury ducks and they have laid and incubated 3 eggs for the last 3 weeks - or should I say the drake has laid on them. She seems to be a princess

.

We have managed to candle them the last few days and we aren't sure if they are fertile.
One is very clear inside and doesn't look fertile at all, they other 2 look very dark inside and have the air pocket - but they seem to also look a bit watery on the inside. Is this indicating bad eggs.

Any advice would be much appreciated - we are very new to this.

Thanks

The clear one is no good...If they are close to hatching they don't move much...Give it a couple more days.......


Best wishes...


Cheers!

Thanks for messaging back.

I have had a look today and one of the eggs is starting to go black - I think it may be starting to smell too. I think this may be a bad egg!

No hatching of the other possible egg - hatch day was Tuesday.

Thanks
