Hatching my first ever duck eggs!!

[Fallenone05]

My boss at work has some ducks, has no idea what breed they are. I'm assuming from their description (they came from Atwood's), one is a Buff Orpington, one is an American Pekin, and the male is a black duck (I'm assuming it's *not* a Muscovy because people usually comment on their red faces if it's a Muscovy).

Do you think these eggs are viable? I've had them in the bator for two days now. Going to check them after seven days to see if they're developing. I have an egg that had a crack in the shell that I didn't incubate. I'm going to eat it to see if I can eat duck eggs as I have food allergies and want to double check!

Aaaaah I'm so excited but so nervous

The black duck might be a cayuga?

Or a black swedish

Do they always have white on their chests/neck? I'm not super familiar with the breed.

Yes, not always a ton. But always some

I haven't ever seen what they look like but I think she said it was just a pure black duck. So maybe a cayuga or a black runner or something?

Runners will look penguin wise standing. Cayuga will walk like a normal duck
