Wait... how long can sperm survive in a duck? 3 weeks before this drake; we had another drake.. wait a minute... I'm going to have a talk with my partner I guess if he secretly let that locked-up drake escape whe I was gone.. THAT drakes it's genetics might be able to create this.. and this is just a dusky mallard.

Morning folks

If you haven't, mark the eggs with bubbles. If they develop (and they likely will) you may have to assist them when it's time to hatch. You were in a tough spot. Generally you want to let the air cells come back together after shipping by setting them on the counter, but given the age of the eggs you really couldn't wait any longer. We'll be here with you in 28 days to see how it goes.

Thank you! I do have the eggs with bubbles separated from the other eggs within the incubator. I don't think they will hatch though, because I've tried hatching eggs with bubbles before and they didn't even start developing. But as you can see, I put them in the incubator anyways, just in case!

I unpacked the the eggs right away when I got them, and I let them sit in egg cartons blunt end up for 12 hours before I put them in the incubator. I also didn't candle them until right before I put them in the incubator, so they're air sacs were as settled as they were going to get when I candled them.

Thank you for your support! It's so nice that I have you to assist me and answer my questions!
