I have these wood ducks who consistently come back every year to lay their eggs, this year the mothers eggs fell into a lake and she was gone from afternoon till around 10pm when I decided I was gonna go ahead and take them in as it was cold outside (50-60F degrees ). Out of 10 eggs 2 were alive. I’ve had them for about two days and am not sure how far along they are but they seem to be at different stages. One has a saddle air sac so it is hard to tell but the other seems around day 20-25. First 4 pics are of one egg and next 4 are of the other, just not sure if they are going to make it with out long they were in the cold for.
