I saved duck eggs and I know they are fertile but I dont know if they are dead? how will I know?

Question

I found duck eggs were my dads friend cut down our hay. Some eggs were crushed and ruined. Those eggs where bloody and formed. I took the last three eggs and put them under a lamp at 90-100 degrees. I'm not sure they are still alive but the eggs are heavy and I'm pretty sure I feel one's heart beating. Its a very light vibration. Please How will I know if they are still alive? They did get a little less then warm when I found them but I put them in heat asap. I also put a bowl of water in there becuase ive been reading up on hatching eggs. I'm really hoping for the best. I just need help.

Answer 1

You cant really tell if they are still alive.

Keep doing what your doing. And do lots of research on it.

What are the eggs laying on?

Keep them as comfortable and warm as possible.

Good luck.

Answer 2

if u keep it in a safe place it will be alive.........

Answer 3

well obvidsouly if they were warm and bloody ... your dad or someone obv hit them and destroyed the nest and soo the mother duck fled

How are you going to look after wild ducklings??

mind you .. it's not likely they willl hatch . .

candle the eggs to check for movement inside the eggs

and you can't hear the heart beat ..

it may well be a duckling trying to begin the process of hatching

or just rotten fluid/dead emreyo in the egg swishing about.

Answer 4

wait till they hatch.

and why do u have duck eggs?
