There are three ducks (not including Sky Duck) laying eggs in five different nests. Some of the nests are really poorly placed and easy for a big old monster to get at. So I collected up the eggs to stick in the incubator.
I know that all of the eggs are under four days old and the weather hasn't been extremely cold or hot during that time, so I think they will hatch. I even tried candling them, but I have no idea what I'm looking for. They look mostly transparent with yellow tint up the pointy end (except for one which is yellow tinted up the other end). I'm curious to see how they change over time.
These are Muscovy ducks, so according to this breliant guide, they take 35-37 days to hatch. Which means that Sky Duck's eggs (I left her on the nest) should hatch 10 days earlier than mine.
Eggs how many started sitting should hatch
Sky Duck >17 10 Apr 2010 15-17 May 2010
Incubator 14 19 Apr 2010 24-28 May 2010
Anyone want to check my math on that?
