Mallard Incubating Stress

[Saigey]

Chances are it's resting, building up its strength in preparation for the hatch.

If you've never hatched ducks before, don't freak out if it takes over 24 hours. They're slow to hatch and then zoom! They grow like weeds and are full of energy.

Good luck!

It still passes the float test. Raised the temp and humidity a bit. Not active in there but no smell. Just not pipping. Maybe it's afraid of the world?

Patience my friend....
I know that it's nerve wracking, but hang in there.

Sadly, they weren't strong enough. They were just abandoned too early. Now I'm looking to buy some day old babies. Just having a hard time finding them!

So sorry to hear that.
I hope that you can find some!

Thanks! It's not easy to find some, which is weird.
