Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

Here’s the original three. Chip, Beans, and little Splash JR have gotten so big! The grow up too fast! They’re already feathering out and I think I heard the start of a honk this morning!

@WVduckchick how are your eggs doing? Must be getting close to some adorable Call ducklings right?

Here's the current scoop..
6 eggs I think have quit. I'm misting them just in case.

7 left confirmed alive. 4 with internal pips and safety holes in place. 2 with external pips, but no more progress yet. 7th one is shadowing.

Ooh! Come on babies!


Sorry about the 6 possible quitters.
Glad you’ve got 7 that are making progress! Good luck!!

Great video!

There are two videos there but one posted as just a link I don't know why it does that.

Actually, I lost them all. I didn’t realize for probably a couple of weeks that my turner wasn't turning and they quit. I used the incubator as a hatcher for chickens, so I haven’t checked it out to see if it actually broke, or if it just got unplugged enough to stop turning
But I have 5 duck hens on nests, so I’m not too disappointed. Plus I am just finishing a chicken hatch of over 40 chicks!
