Wondering what happened with all your eggs, especially the one with a spot. I have 10 duck eggs in lockdown right now!

I got this duckling from Tractor Supply yesterday to be a companion for my sole surviving duckling, an Ancona, from my first incubating efforts. I am delighted to have another one, and they are already very attached to one another. My TSC duckling was labeled a Pekin - which I thought were...

Evadig, Seems those prayers worked! Thank you for your kindness and care. I have a happy, tired but seemingly healthy duckling!

Thank you so much for this! Yes, After last night’s advice, I quickly took the egg into the warm sauna, (really nice to have for this!) tried to poke a tiny hole in the bruise area, but it was firm, and I couldn’t bring myself to risk more pressure.when I candled, I saw she was indeed into the...

Something Wonderful has happened after the Sadness! Meet #10! We’ve named him/her “Tennant” after the 10th Doctor of Dr. Who, who was the last of his kind. (Or that is what I understood). Tennant is the only survivor now of my first incubating efforts. Ten is currently resting on my chest...

Oh, I have had a disaster. I am heart broken and devastated. I had a beautiful Brooder box set up with an integrated heat lamp, all warmed up. But then yesterday I read that ducklings need a sleep/wake cycle too, and with my brooder, the light would have to be on all the time. It was 2am. So...

And just about an hour later I have new two new beautiful Cayuga hatchlings! It’s difficult to not reach in and hold them. How long do I have to let them dry off? As soon as I can take them out and put them in their awaiting brooder box. I’ll get a photo. There is so much condensation its...

Thank you so much! I haven’t intervened any further, and just in the last hour or so #5 and #7 are making real “headway!” They are also making quite a bit of noise! Yes, #7 did make its own external pip, but I made the safety hole. Seven has now made another external pip, but further away from...

Evadig, Thank you so very much!

Can someone experienced please weigh on on my questions? I am worrying - still no more progress.

I joined last night. Was so pleased to find such a helpful resources, and such a friendly, knowledgeable community. My name is Jess and I’m wanting to have ducks as pets. I’ve been a serious animal lover all my life, all 63 years! I’ve had plenty of them but with my sweet Leonberger dog...

I am brand new here and to incubating eggs. I posted for the first time last night under the assisting hatch thread. Mostly, I was just grateful and thankful for the article on how to make safety holes, (and also have a concern for high humidity). Three of my four duck remaining eggs had...

I would also like to thank you profusely. I am on my very first hatching of duck eggs. I’ve got 4 still out of 10: 3 Cayuga and 1 Ancona. All four had internally piped on Day 25 when I did the last candling and put them in Lock Down. I didn’t know to put in the safety holes. Yesterday...
