Pekin ducks laying thin eggs, can they still be hatched

[Sandiemouse]

I have 7 ducks 4 pekins and 3 khaki that have just started laying eggs . One of them has layed a egg that was really thin. Can I still try and hatch that egg???

Welcome to our FUNomenal community!
Good luck with your hatch. My concern with the thin egg shelled egg would be that it could burst/explode. I wouldn’t recommend hatching it.

Hello, and welcome to BYC! I can't help you with duck egg shells. I know that laying chicken hens need extra calcium to keep the shell's good.

Welcome to BYC.
I don't think I would set thin shelled eggs.

Welcome to BYC! I don't think I would set a thin-shelled one either,

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
It's not a good idea to try to hatch a thin shelled egg.

I've never done any hatching so will leave that question to those that experience with it.
