Hello everyone again! I feel like I post tons of threads nowadays lol..
So since Tulipa died during hatching and we wanted to get Newt a friend but no one had any call ducklings.. we got some more eggs!
We bought some snowy call eggs from someone and they had 6 eggs, they weren't sure if any were good or bad but it was all the eggs their female calls laid at the time.
Out of six eggs, one was a rotten egg and two were infertile. Meaning we had three eggs!
Eggs 2, 3, and 6 all made it. Egg 2 is Clove, egg 3 is Lilac, and egg 6 is Downy. That's how I'll be referring to them.
All eggs are on day 22, they were all put in the incubator at the same time. They'll be hatching sometime this week, maybe towards next week!
Lilac is doing really well, shes the most grown and the most determined!
Downy is also doing very well, I'd say hes a tad bit smaller than Lilac but other than that hes doing really well.
Clove is our runt. On day 19, she looked like she was on day 12 or 13! I didn't candle her again until today and I'm glad to say she looks like shes almost caught up with the other two! I was really nervous she was going to give up since it looked like it but shes doing well. (Her egg is also the biggest and heaviest although shes a bit behind lol)
Now here is the slight concern. Lilac, our most determined duckling to hatch looks like it has a hole in the air cell. It is not time to hatch and there is no duck beak or internal pip. I honestly think it's nothing and it's just something on the outside of the egg that looks like its inside the egg when I candle. I didn't get a picture when I turned them at 4pm but at 10pm I'll get one.
I'll be posting their updates here instead of making new threads!
