What do I do? Help!

I don’t think that’s possible. She laid them on Feb 22 and I’ve had them a week now. I did an eggtopsy on one of the others and it was definitely a pretty formed duck. In the photo it kind of looks like he isn’t taking up as much of the shell as it did earlier but he moved a bit. Almost the entire thing was black.

I think it's getting close. Maybe another couple days, but I think it looks very promising. What are you going to do with it if it hatches? You can't raise it alone

I don't know... It looks pretty close to me. I usually have lots of space in my eggs until internal pips happen. It might be a bit behind because it was cold for a while.

Yes over 36 hours Cold!

lol, well my eggs are usually totally black, It might depend on the flashlight I guess, After looking on Meter farms Candling chart, it looks like your probably right.

Ok, I just wondered. I have lots of space, sometimes even I question what day they're on! Lol

It's a miracle that baby is even alive then. They can go into a, I forgot what the word is for it, lol. Where they stall out and go dormant kinda.

I was in contact with a rehabber who said she’d take it if I could get it to hatch. If she doesn’t want to take the solo I will give it to friends who have tons of ducks. I live in the country just not ready for a flock of my own yet.

The others did that I believe

Well, what I mean is they pause incubation and stop developing and then when heated back up they "come back" in a sense and keep growing. Sorry about the others. Did yoy eggtopsy them?

Only one. I was too terrified to look inside honestly. But they were mostly clear except for a small black blob and the veins were disappearing if not disappeared. A few started to smell rancid.

Probably died early. It's sad when they don't make it. I think this one looks really good though, you're doing an awesome job! Update when it starts hatching!
