my only duck egg is on day 29 he was pushing at the membrain to the air sac yesterday 2pm and hasnt made any progress today im thinking maybe its to hard for him and thinking of puting a 2-3mm hole in the airsac shell to see he colour of the membrain
am i right : clear good white bad
if the membrain looks dry ill put a tiny nic in it for him he is in the same hatcher as chicks so the hum is 60-70 and the duck is sitting on a damp cloth knowing he needs slightly higher
i really want this baby and dont want him to die trying id rather give him a helping hand then leave him to it i think it is a mallard i found the lone egg in the field with my horses it was stone cold when i found it no ducks in sight so i brought him in and gave him a chance and he has grown from nothing to a baby i could have left him but my horses would have crushed him
we had the same issue last year mr and misses mallard layed all there aggs in my horses hay hen my horse thought i great to crush them with her nose
but the duck hen moved to the pond in the next field and layed a second lot which hatched nicely
i think she had the same plane fer the hay this time and then rememberd and layed the rest in the pond and left this one egg behind
