So I have recently become a crazy duck lady and for some unknown reason decided to incubate some eggs from the coop. I have only have boy khakis, (unless one of my pekins is a very loud boy without a drake feather) so I am confident it's a mixed breed duckling! I have only seen a few pictures of the possible khaki campbell×pekin offspring, so I am very excited for what I may get.
That being said, I lost power for over 24hrs last week, and somehow I only lost 1 egg. I am also convinced they may not survive hatching due to the incubator getting as low as 80 degrees F. when I lost power, but everything seems to be trucking along perfectly! All 4 eggs have movement and clear veins, and the air sacs are beginning to angle right on schedule.
They are due to hatch August 18th, so it's very close now. I am anticipating them coming early, because my luck works that way. I will keep you all updated, but things are looking good thus far!
