Found an abandoned nest. Are the eggs still viable?

Have you candled the eggs yet?

I candled before I set them and they looked okay.

Iam going to bet 30% duds

How many eggs?

Six that look okay, one obviously dead, so I tossed it.

I think anything put in an incubator has a chance of hatching. If you smell anything though, remove the smelly egg IMMEDIATELY. An old smelly egg could explode, contaminating your incubator.

The six I put in looked like they had good veins, so I am hopeful.

Only one way to find out!

I say yes because I hatched balut eggs.

I have no idea what that means. Please educate me!

Yesterday I found an abandoned nest of duck eggs, so this morning I decided to put them in the incubator. Do you think they are still viable?

do you know what kind of ducks?

I hatched eggs that had been incubating for at least 15 days....pulled from an incubator...driven across my state...placed on a counter at a store where I bought them and then put them in my incubator.
Unknown number of days from the time the company pulled them from this bator until they got put back in mine.

They were laid by my mutt quacker and sired by a mutt quacker.
