Ive been incubating a duck egg for 23 days now. This afternoon I realized that the egg had turned itself somewhere half way between the x and o sides. Should I leave it there or put it back and continue on it's turning routine which has been 3 times a day?
The egg was an abandoned one from a park I frequent. Far from the nest. The mother is a Buff Orpington and the father is probably mallard. It had a dent which I sealed with wax because the membrane was not leaking. Also sealed a few cracks with nail polish. Has saddled aircell on the small side. The egg is almost the same size on both ends. I have left it on its side. The aircell never moved around so was not detached. Hoping it will hatch right. It seems to be moving and growing. Any suggestions for successfully hatching this little one?
