Help! first time hatching!

[Lacrystol]

The first time my white duck sat on eggs she insisted on sitting on a nest of 29 eggs!!! She kicked out like 4 and I just kept putting them back in until eventually I decided to candle and the 4 were rotten. She ended up only hatching 8 because there were just too many for her to sit on and she was a first time mom..... Now all my ducks do that by kicking out the rotten eggs.

29 THAT"S A LOT OF EGGS, one of my hens tried to sit on 43 eggs, YEH, things did not go well in that hatching. CRAZY chicken

One of my ducks hatched 19, think I had a chicken do that, too.

So is it done that they over the nest a little farther back but are still sitting on it? And I will send pics later when it stops snowing

LOL. We are NEVER getting any pics then. I don't think this snow will ever stop!

Got two hens on ~15 eggs and I think they're about to hatch.

Haha! It has been snowing since this morning!!! I had to completely close off the coop because the snow was getting in there. My females ran out and turned right back as soon as they stepped on the snow

Oh ok, because I have seen pics of like almost all black but you can see only some veins, and it moves around when you rotate it. Does that sound right?

Does this look right?
