Right, I missed the 1st pic the 1st time. Went back & found it. 1st egg looks ready, the rest don't.

 

[PoultryGirly]

Yeah, but the pipping egg and the egg right after it are the same egg and it isn't full.

 

[PoultryGirly]

Oh, I see now. That first pic was missed! I meant that the 2nd and 3rd pic were the same egg!

SilkieSensation, how long do you think it will be until the call ducks are ready to hatch?

 

[SilkieSensation]

1st one looks ready from this angle

2nd looks to be internally pipped from this angle

3rd NOT ready

4th NOT ready

5th NOT ready

6th NOT ready

7th NOT ready

Thanks. The 1st is one of the different breeds. When do you think the calls will be ready? (2nd and 3rd pics of what you just posted are same egg)

Call ducks usually take 26 days from set to hatch but can vary 1-2 days either way depending on temps during incubation. Most of these appear to have close to a week left on them.

If pics 2 & 3 are the same egg then it's definitely not ready to hatch. The shadow could be bacteria or just a wonky air cell shadow.

Ugh! I'm so frustrated with these eggs! I feel like giving up! I don't know what to do with the calls that aren't ready and the others that are!!! They're supposed to hatch Wednesday...
