*I posted this on same site another forum and was directed to here....
Help! My son found 2 eggs on a waters edge about now 18 days ago. No nest no fowl insight. He brought them home so we thought, why not let's try. We have an incubator, adjusted the temperature for ducks, but no way to adjust humidity with our purchased incubator. We did a candle light check at 16 days and I think one has stopped developing (possible ring of death unsure) and the other still has movement. Both eggs have developed hairline cracks. Air sacs seems to be intact but really I am at a loss as to what we are doing. What are the chances the one at least will still develop?
Update: Great support and recommendations from other forum. We have been misting them 2x daily to make sure humidity is good as a recommendation.
We checked back on eggs on day 18. The one egg has a larger dark spot but no veins at all- is this one definitely a loss? Also other seems to be good but movement was at a minimal. (Picture attached) Both of the developing water fowl seems to stay onnone side of the egg, not floating- is the normal. Just looking for guidance and support.
