Hi we have an sos if anyone can help, a local primary school near us in pontardawe (swansea),
Have put in 12 duck eggs, and none have hatched.
The children are breaking up fri for easter, and they were hatching them showing them the process, but not sure what went wrong.  I have said I will try my best.
Pity as little ones so excited !
Anyone with day old ducklings or chicks, dont mind purchasing them and picking up if not too far away. Also can have them back.

Thanks ruth

I'm so sorry that things haven't worked out. I'm nowhere near you I'm afraid but I'm sure that someone will be along shortly to lend a hand.

Thanks for the help guys, found some chicks managed to swap them before little ones arrived in school.

They didn't notice the lack of bills and webbed feet then?

My daughter is in reception and they've just put in one incubator with chicken eggs and one incubator with duck eggs so they'll hatch (hopefully) just after Easter. So far the teacher has not told them one lot is chickens and one is ducks so she's waiting to see whether they spot the difference. Given they're our eggs and my daughter watches ours hatching quite a lot, I wondered whether she'd spot the eggs were different - but all she was focussed on was that the brown eggs should go together in one incubator and the white eggs in the other.

I think duck eggs are harder to hatch so I've warned our teacher - and that's why she's running two lots parallel (she does chicks every year but was very keen to try ducks this year). If they were put in in Feb then it's early in the season for fertility so maybe suggest next year they leave it a bit later in the season?

Glad they've found a solution!
