Sat in the bird hide we were lucky enough to catch a flock of geese coming in to land. We heard them first and had just enough time to raise our cameras. I’m considering cropping these.

Question by twilightfan118: How long can a duck egg last without its mother?
Okay, so I found 13 eggs at the park and I think some kids chased away the mom and messed up the eggs. The eggs aren’t in a nest and are spread out. I decided to kepp to to try to raise them. I am 98% sure they are dead, but it is worth a try. How long could an egg be without its mom is 50 degrees. (about) it would be a miracle if they lived. o their names are fredric and dafidol 🙂
yea well former breeder, yea it lived

  2. Once the embryos get chilled, they’re done. If you don’t have an incubator already at temp for hatching, you have no chance to save the eggs. Sorry.
