Indian Runners...close to hatch!

[MamaMarcy]

I have 10 Indian Runner ducklings getting close to hatch. I candled them tonight and all but 2 look like they're about to poke thru the air sacs! Hatch day should be Thursday. It was really cool...I could actually see them stretching their membranes.

Yeah, you always seem to see more happening in duck eggs than you ever do with chicken eggs. I don't know if that's cause ducklings move around more or cause their egg shells are more translucent and easier to see into. I love candling duck eggs right before lockdown and watching them squirming around, it's so exciting. Please post photos of your ducklings once they hatch, I love indian runners...
