Hatching duck eggs

[tottgol]

I need info on whether my duck eggs are dead. They are in an incubator on day 29. They are dark but only have a small air pocket when candled.

Do a float test, it's very accurate

What is that?

 

[Poultry parent]

It's when you fill a container with very warm water and gently lower one egg into it, if it moves on its own it's alive, and if it floats at an angle it's fully developed and possibly alive. Don't do it to any eggs that have cracks, and look up instructions so that you do it correctly

Ok, thank you!
