I don't have an incubator, but hope to hatch a couple ducklings.

Gosh, I am so worried about the egg.

Did you have a drake with your duck so the egg is fertilized?

This. Also is the drake a Pekin? The duckling will be a mix if not (but still cute).

Yes, I actually need to get a pen for some drakes or re-home them. Have 5 currently.

Oh my gosh auto correct, not revoke them re-home.

A mix yes, cayuga or a cayuga/khaki Campbell

Last year Jem (my khaki campbell duck) went broody and hatched 3 ducklings, 2 drakes and 1 duck, all had a cayuga father. One of Jem's eggs was in a cayuga ducks nest and she hatched 2 eggs (none of her own as she was exposed to her adult son) 1 blue swedish cayuga cross duck and another Khaki cayuga cross drake.

I am avoiding in breeding so I gotta be careful what eggs I let hatch with Angelina's so no lone ducklings.

After this attempt unless something changes this will be the last time hatching any thing.

The egg is about 4 days old now and has been stored in room temps of around 70 to 80 degrees farenheit not good right. I forgot about learning how to store it at first and not much before yesterday did I check. I hope it's still viable when I can incubate it. I will find out then or maybe sooner I guess.

When are you getting the incubator?

4 days is not bad. I store my eggs at room temperature but here it is 60-75 degrees

Awe, that's beautiful! And thank you! I really hope so too, this is my last chance to have a duckling of hers.
I also will miss the presence of pekins I have always had one since we got the first 2 pekins about 8 years ago.

Some pictures if the little one hatches!
