Lesley Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hello - what a disappointment to find that has happened. I'd be tempted to wait a few days and see what happens, you never know..... I always open the shells of any unhatched to see exactly what happened - and to help with the next hatching. Do it outside though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it outside though Spoke to the breeder and both eggs look like they still have live duckies inside, he said wait till tuesday and candle again for signs of life.
