    I dont have one for ducks...only chickens...But you can do some maths to work out how to convert the different stages to duck days. Its here.....

    http://www.poultry.msstate.edu/extension/detail.php?detail=faq Nearly three quarters of the way down the page. Also a heap of other info on there -

    Also this site
    http://www.minkhollow.ca/mhf/doku.php?id=farm:candling:learn_more:embryology

    You can see how they have calculated the difference between chicken and ducks eggs on the list there too!!

    I do know of a place where there are photos of chicken eggs broken open at each day..But the link is on my old computer...I will go looking for it for you.
