what are the chances....

What are the chances of a duck egg that was abandoned after being laid on a lawn being fertile?

[sapphire_moon]

not very good, if the mother abandoned it, she did it for a reason. You could always candle it, and check it out, or find a rehabilitation center.

Ok,she only laid it sunday and I have it in my hovabator, turning it about 5-6 times a day..I'll candle it in a few days to see..

In a few days it could be pretty bad, I would candle it asap.

Ok and what should I be looking for in the egg this early? I appreciate the help.

[snakers55]

I candeled it and can see the yolk at the top of the egg, doe sthis mean anything?

Look for blood vessels spreading around inside

Ok,this is only day 2 of the incubation,should i be able to see blood vessels already?? I will check now..

[snakers55]

Update...I can't see blood vessels, but it looks like the yolk/embryo has grown larger...

[snakers55]
