We currently have a Khaki Campbell duck setting on a clutch of eggs. She is VERY cranky and currently will not leave her house. She has her and the eggs covered in hay.
We found one egg that had hatched, or started to and maybe she assisted? The duckling was dead, hadn't absorbed the yoke yet :-(
The other ducks are not in with her. My question is, when will the rest of the eggs hatch? The one we found was on the 17th, and have had nothing since then. We try to peek in to see, but she will not allow it. She is eating some and drinkiing, but never when we are there, so we aren't able to check without her being in the house. We candled the eggs at approx 7-10 days, and haven't since then, as she gets so upset, and we were worried about her leaving the nest.
Shouldn't they be starting to hatch now?
