How To Look After Unhatched Eggs. How do you look after an unhatched birds egg. The only thing that occurs to me is that maybe someone found.
If the first clutch fails because of poor parenting skills dont worry. If you think you have a good pair leave the eggs there for 30 days after she has laid the last one. Lastly you need to decide how youre going to deal with the ducklings after they hatch.
You only have to float them for about 30 seconds after the water stops moving.
You dont want to do a float test on a pipped egg or the chick will drown. When you find egg sacs vacuum them or collect them. A live egg releases CO2 and intakes oxygen through microscopic pores on the surface of the shell. Many times they will lay again after pulling the unhatched eggs.
