Hello

[RachealM]

New here,
I joined because I came across some duck eggs abandoned by the mother/predator had eaten most the eggs except four. I'm looking for some help as I'm familiar with ducks but not so much with hatching them. I think the veins are shutting down?

Welcome to BYC. Do you have them in an incubator ?

Welcome to BYC. Do you have them in an incubator ?

I don't have an incubator and with everything going on with COVID I haven't been able to order one so I have them in a black box with a heat lamp and moist paper towels on the side. Been misting them and trying to keep it at 99 degrees. All seemed to be going great with them for two weeks till today and i can see the clotting of the veins and I don't think think they are ready to hatch. There is some slow movement of the embryo but not like yesterday. I feel bad

Hello, Racheal, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Hopefully someone will be able to help you with the duck eggs and no incubator.
