We have been incubating duck eggs in a makeshift incubator since April 4th, Rubbermaid bin with heating pad, bowl of water for humidity and a thermometer. We had a momma mallard lay her nest in our front flower garden, we didn't know anything about it until April 1st when we spotted her the first time sitting on her nest. She left sometime over night and never returned, but had been sitting all day on the 1st. There were 13 eggs and based on timing of seeing ducks in our front yard, we assume that was either the first or second day she was sitting. By the 4th we decided to bring the eggs in and see what we could do. One egg pipped on Sunday night, April 28th and starting zipping Monday. I had to help with final hatching on Tuesday as he was stuck and couldn't completely get out. He's fine and oh so adorable but none of the other 11 eggs are doing anything. Is it too late now, 5 days later for anything to start? None of them smell but some do have some really dark streaking under the shell.
