Old fashioned Broody thread for ducks 2013 edition

Now I feel bad about my big news but have to share, I went out to close up broodys door and just peaked under mom and heard peeps so I looked at 2 eggs they have pipped the shell, didn't look at the other 2 just closed up and now hoping all will go good for her and ducklings will hatch. It's not even day 35 till Wed.

Must have sat on them enough to start cooking before you thought.

Congrats!!
 
Hmmm have you had hatches from this drake before? Not one a scovie cross/scovie mule and one not right?
Busted egg may have let bacteria loose on the other eggs. Want to sanitize REALLY good. Took a good 5 minutes to get that rotten egg smell out of my nose - even eggtopsy outside and walking away from it. People having a lot of bad hatch luck this month for some reason. Sowwy.

I've only had these two for about a year, both Pekins. I got them when they were about 4 months old. Daisy gave me a few eggs last year but didn't sit, this year she had several eggs that she sat on for about a week then got bored, this one she sat on the whole month, but I think there may have been some eggs left over from the first group of eggs...that's probably what happened. We just tossed all the eggs from this one, there were only 2-3 left, and they should have hatched already anyway. I am a little sad, but hopeful that she'll sit again for me this year. I couldn't bring myself to do an eggtopsy lol the smell was bad enough, seeing the inside of a rotten one probably would have put me over the edge...or seeing one that should have hatched...

Screw waiting for the trap - if you can lay eyes on it shoot it now!....

Quirky - I hear ya, sometimes it's better just to shut to door and not even think about it. Only thing is if there were no development there might be a fertility issue or you'd know there wasn't. Hope next time is the charm for ya!
