    Day 28, there is movement but no internal piping

    I’ve been doing a LOT of reading since saving an abandoned duck egg. I’ve made an incubator as I wasn’t able to get one in time. Everything looked great, but now it is on day 28 and while candling I still see some veins by the air sac, I also see lots of movement but no internal piping. Is there...

    Help! I have a spot on my duck egg and I don’t know what it is.

    There is movement inside the egg, and it has veins and an oxygen bubble but I don’t know what this spot is and I’m worried.

    please help!! Alive or dead?!

    About 4 days ago I found 2 duck eggs in a pond, close to shore. There were no ducks around but I decided to wait a day before taking action. There was 1 duck egg that was on shore, that I feel must have gotten eaten.( I’ve inserted a picture). I have hatched duck eggs before so I knew that this...

    First Egg !!!

    Hi Friends! Just looked into the duck-house and found our first egg. No idea who laid it, my primary suspect is Katharina because she's the largest duck, Curiosity and NoName are smaller. One healthy egg, perfect size, a little larger than a chicken egg from the store: Now we're talking...

    So, I found this Muscovy egg (how do I know it's a Muscovy egg? Well it was near a muscovy nest but I guess the duck had too many eggs/ it rolled away, but I couldn't get it back into the nest, the duck wouldn't let me) so I took it with me, and well, I'm trying to hatch it. I'm just a poor...

    Humidity Levels During Lockdown

    Hi! I was wondering whether I should open the incubator to add water for raising humidity levels because I have to add water on Wednesday, but that's a day after lock-down for hatching starts. I would greatly appreciate it if anybody could help me. Thanks!

    Should I intervene??

    Hey guys, Me and my partner are new to the world of incubation. We started with 7 eggs 30 days ago and We have reason to believe that only 2 are still kicking as they're showing signs of movement and have both internally piped. One of the eggs has cracked the outer shell (not poked through...

    Duck Eggs and when to eat them

    How long can a duck egg be left in the nest before being collected and still be edible? How do people typically clean and store their duck eggs and what is the shelf life for those methods? Any tips or information on how to properly collect, store, eat and or use duck eggs would be awesome!
