Hello All,

Today is Day 20 of incubation for our duck eggs (mallard). Everything seems to be going well...thanks to all the help on this site! Today when I went to turn the eggs I noticed 1 of them was rocking. I candled it and I can see movement in the air pocket. This egg from day one looked a little different in color and size and now I'm not so sure it's a duck. Not sure what to do and certainly don't want to put the other eggs in jeopardy. I only have the one incubator. Has this ever happened to anyone? I'd appreciate any help someone can give me!!!
Only thing I can suggest is stay out of the 'bator during lockdown, unless it's absolutely necessary. No point in candleing; nothing you could do by that time, anyway. No good can come from the temperature and humidity dropping that late

Edit: sorry; by the time I got to the end of your post I'd forgotten that most of your eggs are duck eggs . CRS today; not enough sleep last night.

I was going to keep the chick with me, but when I took it out of the incubator, I heard at least one more chick peeping loudly, ready to get out. I took the first cick out long enough to play with it before putting it back in to encourage the others.
I promise not to touch the incubator again until another one is out and fluffy. I had already given up on more than one. I didn't hear more peeping until the first one had already been taken out.
