Hello

[Chubby-mummy]

Hello.
My name is Helen and I'm currently incubating 3 duck eggs. I'm on day 29 and panicking about no pipping and movement. How long should I give them before calling it a failure.

Happy for lots of advice.

Glad you found us! I'm a Duck Guy (person) too. Although I've never incubated any eggs, so let me know how it goes and what you learned.
Send Pics please!

Welcome to the group I don’t know much about ducks but they go quack quack quack. I’m trying to learn as much as I can about chickens. My 14 granddaughter has been begging for ducks. This group has a wealth of information from some really smart people. Not to mention a friendly group. Welcome again !

Welcome to BYC. I've never incubated duck eggs, but I recall reading that some breeds of ducks take longer than others. What kind are you hatching?

Hello, Helen, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Good luck with the incubation. This is why I leave the incubating up to broodies. It's much less stressful and they instinctively know what to do.
