how many days did you incubate before Ducky hatched?

2x

I have 3 balutties in my bator right now.

I too want to know how many days it took for yours to hatch.

Hey BYC community!

I ended up with a balut duck egg. For those that don't know, balut eggs are basically duck/chicken embryos that are boiled to be eaten while in their shell. So to me I believe it's a miracle that I was able to hatch my pekin duck. Through the process of "googling" what hatching requirements were needed I ended up on BYC multiple times. I am a complete worry wart, so I was looking in case it didnt externally pip or if the air sac was growing too large. So thanks to BYC I became well inform on I thought I join the community to share my story and possibly find someone local to take care of Ducky. I thought someone from BYC would definitely take great care of Ducky. I'll be moving out of state for school and unfortunately won't be able to take Ducky with me Originally a family member was suppose to take her/him in, but that fell through.

Anyways! Until I figure out a home for Ducky I'll be here on BYC searching up what else will be needed for this little guy.

This is her/his box when she's/he's on furniture.

That is so incredibly cool!

Approximately 9 days! So 9 days in an incubator and 2 days without.

Yes I've seen her thread! It's crazy, I still can't believe it even as I look at Ducky right now. Fingers crossed that her balutties will make it as well
