hatching time!!!

Well he doesn't look shrink wrapped he looks rubbery, which is a sign of sticky. I would get a qtip, don't wrap him up in anything, wipe around his nose, beak and under his beak. Leave him alone for two hours, send another pic, and start the process again.

When is his due date, we'll never mind his due date, he's beyond that point.

What is the temp, humidity at and do you have a fan or no fan..

BINGO! Ducks do NOT do well with the large end up in an egg carton. They do better laying down. All new ball game when it comes to ducks versus a chicken.

Lay that egg DOWN!!!

Perhaps that's one of the reasons the other 16 DIDNT make it...

We incubate our duck eggs with big end up in a turner and lay them down on their side for hatch time. We have had 95 to 100% hatch rates from our eggs this way.

Other way to have a god hatch rate is to get a turner that allows you to lay the eggs flat, like some of the brine sea incubators do it works great.

Yes I totally agree, they do much better laying down.

But you lay them down, that is the point.

I use a regular turner and tape my eggs to the turner in a laying down position. Taping them is great because you don't mess with them...
