I know. I’m trying to be philosophical about it. I did my best. I followed the instructions. It was my first attempt at hatching.I'm so sorry, Kat. I don't hatch so I'm no help but absolutely devastating to lose them all.
I'm so sorry KatWell, none of my duck eggs are doing anything and it’s 40 days.
So, I opened one and this is what I found.
I assume they are all dead. There is no movement, no sound, nothing.
I checked this little guy carefully and he is developed, other than his yolk is still not absorbed, so I guess I’ll never know.
I followed the directions explicitly.
@rjohns39 , what do you think went wrong?

Bob has been knee deep in work all week and doesn't make it back to BYC in the afternoon.
I don’t get to BYC often, that’s why I am always way behind in the postings.I'm so sorry Kat

So sorry they didn't make it.
for you Kat, it's never easy when they die 
No, but I can get one.Good morning folks
My best guess is temp wasn't what you thought it was and was actually low. Do you have a calibrated thermometer you can use to check ?
Do so and then test your bator without eggs in it.
