Please help rescue my duck eggs

[Paigey]

Hi, My duck has been sitting on her eggs for +- 28 days but she got off her eggs and went out the gate now we don't know where she is. I need some advice about the eggs please, and how to incubate them.

Quacker ducks

[Paigey]

Well they where sold to us with that name. They are all white

 

[buff goose guy]

well who ever you got them from is dumb

you probably have pekin or a mix

as long as you can keep the eggs warm preferably with a light/heat lamp not blankets because they dont produce their own heat yet (well they do but not enough to hatch

some should hatch if its realy been about 28 days.

Well, the response I typed seems to have disappeared…..

I would get an incubator if at all possible.

You need to keep those eggs at about 98F, if I read the Sticky on hatching waterfowl correctly. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/491013/goose-incubation-hatching-guide-completed

This is a very critical time for the eggs.

They also need some humidity - around 65%.

I hope a hatcher checks in here soon.

Okay, apparently your thread came in twice - I answered on the other thread. Really, this is a critical point for those eggs - those littles cannot make it if they are not warm enough and humid enough. Please put them in a proper place.
