Hatching incubated eggs in cartons?

[Ren2014]

I started with 2 duck eggs and 32 Lavender Orpingtons and 7 Jubilee Orpingtons. The duck eggs were clear and culled last night. All 7 JO were culled and 13 LO were culled: 2 blood rings and 11 clears. What kind of duck eggs are you incubating? Did you set them the same day as the chicken eggs?

Yes and the ducks are a cross between black runner and a male ruieon

Looking at the darkness and how full your egg looks I would GUESS about day 14. Can you see movement?

Yes there was heaps of movement

The poll is sure going in the way of laying them on their side. It's been recommended to hatch them in paper egg cartons when the air cells are whacky. I've got some reeealllly bad air cells with this bunch

Sounds like the chick pipped the internal membrane and has started to pip the shell. Get that egg back in the bator and leave it alone!!!!!

If it does hatch it really needs a friend.
