Hi everyone,
I have some khaki campbell duck eggs that I am incubating after a fox killed the parents. Today is day 18 (I started counting 24hrs after I put the eggs in the incubator). So, my question is: should I expect ducklings hatching on day 28 (like, coming out of the egg) or day 28 means they start hatching that day and take a couple of days to hatch (like day 30 or 31).
I am a bit worried because I have a work trip and I am leaving on for a few days on what would be day 30. I mean, in case any duckling needed help I would not be home. Only my husband would be there and he may not know what to do.
Thanks
