Hatching/Incubation Help

I have a question. My runner eggs haven't completely filled out yet and they are on day 25. Can I leave them in there a little longer before they go in the hatcher? Or will the egg turner make it hard for them to get in position for hatch?

For safety's sake, move them.
The movement of the turner is dangerous if they suddenly hatch (Ha! A duckling hatching suddenly! ). Even off, the duckling can get stuck.
As for positioning, it's not a major concern. Some people actually prefer it. I am not in that party myself.

For anyone needing to know...

Thankyou I'll move them today at some point!

what he said, ducks take FOREVER to hatch, internal to external can be 12-24 hours, external to zip can be 24-40 hours

Wow-- it's like the slow-poke chicks that we wait on, to see if we need to assist! Wish I had a pond, would love to hatch ducks!

You don't actually "need" a pond. A baby pool is great, but not needed either.
What the ducks need now
Is love, sweet love!

Not that I'm trying to tempt you or anything!

Sounds like mine. I'm afraid I might have ducks instead of Danvers

Love the way you think! Besides, we NEED duck- hatching experience!
