In the Brooder
So my Aylesbury duck has been sitting on her eggs for almost 28 days now, and I only realised 15 days in that she had been laying the whole time.
After candling the eggs I think I’ve got two out of six that are ready to pip but the rest still look quite behind as their air cell is quite small.
What should I do? I don’t have an incubator but should I take the early hatched ducklings away and hope she keeps sitting on the rest or leave them and hope she stays on the nest as we are going to make a small pen for her and her ducklings so they won’t be running off.
I have a heat lamp so if needed I could separate.
