I have two broody hens that are sitting on muscovy eggs- one sitting on one egg and another sitting on two (three eggs collectively)
Two nights ago we candled the eggs and I saw movement- what looked like ducks kicking around in the eggs. I'm assuming that means they internally pipped. Yet two days later, there's not a single pip on the exterior of the eggs. I did also have another duckling that hatched a day or so before the candling but died mid-hatch. Is there anything I can do for these eggs? I have an incubator but most of the slots are filled with eggs that are going to be going for a week come tomorrow. Could I check to see if they're alive and put them in the floor of the Incubator (cabinet incubator)? Would that harm the chick eggs I'm trying to hatch if I bump the humidity up that much for duck eggs??
