I received 4 khaki campbell eggs that an acquaintance's pet duck was sitting on, but then abandoned on about day 16. Since I don't know the exact date that I'm on (I'm pretty sure within a day, maybe two) I don't know when I should take them out of the egg turner. Will it hurt them if I am off by a day?
Secondly, do I just turn off the egg turner, or do I remove it completely and just place the eggs on the wire mesh on the bottom of the incubator- I assume I take the whole thing out so the ducklings wouldn't get caught up in it...
This is my first hatch, I wasn't planning on hatching anything for another few months, so I'm not totally prepared. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
