ok just candled my eggs

I see at least 2 good
and a bunch of maybe's

first time doing this

it looks like some are a week ahead of others
is that pos.?

they where sent from 2 dif people a few days apart

could some have started before I put them in ?

I am not sure so I left them all in but 3 that where def no goes


Oh I thought this would be a relaxing hobbie

Hmm...possible that some may have started before they were sent to you but they'd have to be little Hercules to start growing again after being posted. It's more likely that you just have a bunch of ones that have stopped developing. But try again in a few days to see if you have progress. Don't give up till you are sure!!

How long have you been incubating these eggs for? They are duck eggs, right?

No, this bit is not that relaxing..... But watching the ducklings after they hatch IS relaxing.

Fingers are crossed for you!!!!

They're so funny with their ridiculous little wings. Mine have wing feathers that are about two thirds grown and they love to flap. "Look at these things I grew all by myself!!!".

For the longest time I thought there was something wrong with my ducks because of the mini wings. I thought I had broke them or something but was afraid to ask. then I read don't give them chick starter and I got ultra paranoid that broke them. Then my kid pointed out they hadn't died yet so it likely wasn't the chick starter...then boom. One morning I g up to find normal looking wings with feathers all over.
can you tell I had never seen a duckling before?​

LOL, their wings do seem to grow overnight.

When we got some of our adult ducks they had just dropped their wing feathers in a moult. My hubby finally asked what was wrong with them and why did they have such tiny little wings.
