It didn’t make it. Early this morning it pipped maybe? Or scratched the membrane? Either way it opened itself up and died at some point. When I opened up the egg to take a look it just looked all wrong if that makes sense. I don’t think it was ever going to make it all the way through. Thank you...

alright thank you! i figured it may be something like that, but i’ve seen a few threads on here about taking ducklings out if they’re a few days past 28 which of course, we are way past. ill follow that and continue to wait on the veins and hope for the best. someone else mentioned it could be...

the shrink wrapping has only started since opening the egg but we were getting desperate, we’ve been taking care of that as normal.

41 days since our female passed, which is when the egg was put in the incubator yes. it almost looks deformed through the sides of the egg but i’m really not sure

it is definitely two weeks over. this egg was collected the day the only female in the pen was killed. incubator is set to the same it always is for last few hatches.

Posted this on chicks but was advised to post it here. Hi all! I run a poultry farm and have hatched hundreds of eggs, and I’ve finally run into a first. I have a duck egg with high priority (laid by a now passed duck of importance to us) who is on day 41 with no pip or any indication of one...
