Overdue

so we had 12 indian rubber duck Eggs and 8 of them were fertile, we are currently at day 30 and only 1 has hatched when we did a float test all of them floated with About 15% above the water but there was no movement, what do i do now this is my first time hatching duck Eggs and i’m getting pretty worried.

Your using an incubator I assume.
Well humidity and temperature really plays a huge part in hatching so what kind of incubator were you using?

Have you tried candling them with a flashlight? That should give definite confirmation of life.

 

[ColinDelsink]

Not really an expensive one but i haven’t experienced any problems with it so far.

Yes, and I couldn’t really see any movement in the egg

Well did you Candle all through setting the eggs. What was humidity?

When was the last time you candled and had signs of life in the egg? Is there any chance you can post a candling photo? This link has good photos of what healthy eggs will look like at different stages.

I candled them often and the humidity is currently around 65%

A bit high..Still air or forced air?

I was able to see the blood vessels up to around day 25.
