Hi everyone, I have been using BYC (w/o an official account) for a while now and I have found it to be so helpful with raising my x4 rescue mallard ducklings. However, today is the day I decided to officially register with BYC as I have encountered something that has left me very confused. This afternoon, while cleaning the duck pen, I found what looked to be an embryo (I can only assume a duck embyro, as I have no idea what else it could be) with no sign of an egg. In addition, my ducklings are only 5 weeks old so I have absolutely no idea how one of them could have produced this given they are too young to mate and without any sign of an egg. They are still too young to sex, however I suspect x2 are male and x2 are female. Please help as I am super confused.
If I had to assume, the embryo looks as though it is in day 7/8 of fertilization. I have attached a photo.
Thanks,
Hannah
