☝️is my prediction of our hatch rate for this round of duck egg incubation. At this moment, we have 12 babies hatched and four eggs to go.
Of the four left, three are probably duds judging by how clear they look when we use our phone flashlights to see inside the incubator. Not candling by any means, but they are not as dark as they should be and also not as heavy (I picked them up when I took the baby ducks/empty eggs out).
All of the babies are mostly black; the drake was Cayuga and black is a dominant gene, so not a surprise.
A few have yellow bellies, which could be the Blue Swede or the Khaki Campbell genetics. I wonder what color eggs they'll lay?
