Hello,
I just wanted to share a idtem that I found EXTREMELY useful for assisted hatching.
A few years ago some duck eggs I incubated were having difficulty hatching due to the humidity being too low(was my first time incubating and misread the humidity levels for ducklings) and the...
My hen started showing signs of being broody, and today she started sitting, but the eggs she’s sitting on are a bit old (some are about a week old and others maybe older). So I was wondering if she could still hatch them, or if I should buy her some knew eggs (though I might not be able too)...
This is the first time I have incubated duck eggs. Yesterday was day 28 and they all started pipping. However it has been 24 hours and they have not started to “zip”, so I am starting to get nervous.

Ok, so this is my first time incubating and I bought a dozen eggs from a local chicken farmer. Over the course of the incubation we have had to throw out 6 of them, and the ones left should be hatching any day now. One of them had this chunky looking yellow/brown stuff on the outside, but there...
