Found an abandoned nest. Are the eggs still viable?

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?

I say yes if pretty fresh goodness some ducks collect 20 or more before going broody. That’s a long time between egg number 1 an eggs 20. Lol

I would say these are at about 10-15 days incubated.

I say yes because I hatched balut eggs.

Iam going to bet 30% duds

How many eggs?

 

[WannaBeHillBilly]

Have you candled the eggs yet?

 

[PollyGirl21]

I say yes because I hatched balut eggs.

I remember that! Good times....

 

[Miss Lydia]

Oh didn’t know some one had already started incubation. Still a really good chance though!

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.

Only one way to find out!
