well today I had to peek. Its way past when I think any ducklings should have hatched. I opened the box a tiny bit and she hopped out. I saw one pushed away broke open egg with a dead baby in it and maggots crawling in it. I tossed that without even checking it further. It filled the broken open egg though. I candeled the rest of the eggs and 3 were runny and liguidy inside. I tossed them. 5 were dark with an air cell at the top. I didn't see any movement though. I put them back for her. I don't know what would cause this outcome. We've left her alone and she's sat on them almost all of the time every day.
What would any of you do at this point? I hate to open one of these eggs up- in case there is any hope or in case its rotten inside. Either way I lose. But just waiting more days seems pointless too.
Help?
