I have hookbill duck hatching eggs if you or anyone else is interested! I have great fertility here on my homestead. I'm located in southern WV and can ship. One batch I shipped to CA has 100% development 2 weeks in!

Hi Kerry! I got the eggs from you Someone else sent me some eggs one day after I received yours , so that is why I have 19 now!

Oh! I wondered if you were someone who had purchased my eggs, hahaha. I'm SO glad to hear you've had good development. Please do post pics when they hatch!

Sure thing! Thanks again for the beautiful eggs ! Funny thing is that the eggs that you placed an X as they were on cold outside, they are developing just fine!

Wonderful to hear!!! I had another one that sat out for a day that I tried to incubate myself and it didn't develop so I figured those were goners lol. VERY glad to hear that's not the case! I'm glad I shipped them anyway.

Kerry, is the hatching more difficult than for other duck breeds ? I had hard time with Welsh Harlequin previously, compared with Swedish or Khaki Campbell.

My first hatching batch (10 beautiful, well developed eggs) went into lockdown this morning, so I don't know how easy it will be yet but will keep you posted! Still waiting - impatiently - on pips.

So far our hatch has gone well! Most of them pipped on day 25 and one hatched out this morning (day 27) without issue. Several others are close as well! Four of the 10 haven't pipped yet, but I saw one of those move so I'm not giving up hope.

Omg.. so precious. You are almost there! I will be stressing out the last days...I’ve waited so long to have them! Finger crossed that my hatch will also go well. Using my new incubator, so we will see. I tested it with chicken eggs and it was keeping the humidity well.

Glad your humidity is steady! I was worried about mine because I didn't know I was supposed to calibrate them until it was too late haha but so far so good! 3 duckies out and more on the way.
