No I am not trying to copy the "Thread Formerly Known as Hatch Day is Today" (btw I love that thread

)

I currently have 2 Indian Runner duck eggs on lockdown :D Today is day 26 but one of them is already starting his zip

I am really sad about the other one though... It looks like he didn't make it

All of the veins are gone, there is no movement at all and he is VERY small for day 26. I can still see right through parts of the egg when candled. He was a trouper though. He had a huge indent and lots of small cracks on him. I tried my best to repair them. He also had a ruptured air cell from shipping. I am surprised he made it this far.

On another note, I also have 2 Muscovy duck eggs that are due to hatch in about 10 days. So hopefully that goes well :) I will be posting lots of pictures and maybe even a video here and there.

Happy hatching!

Well.... I guess this update will bump my thread :/ Anyway my duckie hatched! Yay!!!! He/she is now about 3 days old and VERY strong :) What a fast little runner too. I don't know what colour he is but it sure isn't Fawn and White. He looks like a Blue Swedish duckling but I was told they were Indian Runner duck eggs. The other India Runner duck died before he hatched

He was an all black baby :( And I just cracked open one of the Muscovies who died last night. It was a beautiful pure white baby. Not even yellow but white. So pretty :( But I still have 1 egg that' staying strong and holding on. I'm doing my best to keep him going so hopefully it's enough.
