Khaki Campbell duck nesting

[Lou78]

Afternoon I am wanting I for on nesting khaki Campbell’s. I have 2 ladies currently sitting on eggs that are fertile we have had extreme heat however in recent weeks and I’m concerned they have been effected. The ladies are still nesting and it’s coming close to 28 days may even be longer. Do khakis know when their eggs are no longer viable. How do I know if there are live birds in the eggs and when do I intervene and take eggs out of nest ? Thanks so much

Couldn't you take them out and candle them? @Miss Lydia does it a lot when one of hers is sitting on them.

I say candle them also...I think mama does know if they've gone bad though.
