    Dark ring around Duck egg day 28

    I've been incubating Cayuga Duck eggs for the first time. They were set at around 8pm on the 26th September (today is morning of 24th Oct here). So I'm assuming this is counted as day 28? I have been very worried as since I candled them and put them into lockdown at 8pm on the 21st there has...

    How Far Along Is This Egg?

    Hi there! We found a discarded duck egg at the edge of our pond partially submerged. Figured it couldn’t hurt to see if it was viable and we are delighted to find out it is! Any ideas how far along this bean is? We do have an incubator (the egg is currently safe inside) but have not hatched our...

    Duck egg growth trouble

    Posting hoping for some answers as Google has been completely useless with this particular issue. I rescued an abandoned duck egg and made an incubator, with lamp for heat, water tray under lamp and a damp cloth near egg for humidity, turning the egg around 5 times a day. All seemed to be fine...

    First Time Hatcher. Is my duck embryo dead? So much conflicting information online!

There is a lot of conflicting information...

    Muscovy Eggs Won't Hatch

    Looking for the duck hatching experts! I have scoured the internet and can't find a reason that makes sense why my Muscovy eggs aren't hatching. Our own eggs are definitely fertile, we let a mama hen hatch out a clutch and she hatched 11 out of 12 eggs. The trouble comes when we incubate them...

    Duck egg incubating

    My ducks just started laying eggs recently. She wasn’t making a nest, just laying them randomly around the pond, one every day or two.

    Found duck(?) Eggs

    Hi! I'm new here, and I don't know much about the lives of waterfowl. We live in a neighborhood with a pond that is home to a flock of geese and a few ducks who seem to stick together against the geese. The pond has been taken over by duckweed, so I was out scooping it to try to put a dent in...

I'd really love to add them too since I'm doing this in my kindergarten classroom, and it would be so fun for them to see chicks and ducklings! But I know if I...
