Help!! Duck eggs cold at day 29!!

[duckmama618]

hey all, we had a welshie sitting on a nest of both welsh and Muscovy eggs. She hatched out 4 of her own kind and when I went out this morning, her and the babies were outside leaving the other eggs cold in the nest. I was really hoping she'd stick around another few days to hatch the muscovies. I gathered them up and put them in a makeshift incubator (a box and a heat lamp) and they look like this. Does this look like no longer viable eggs? Maybe she got up because they were all duds? Please help!!​

She got up to feed and care for her first hatched....Regular Duck eggs are 28 days and Muscovy 35...She would have never sat longer than two days before feeding the Ducklings...

It's just nature.... The eggs that she left were either duds, or too weak to survive.

Best of luck with the new ducklings!
