Not sure what to do about the humidity, its at 50% do I raise it or just leave it alone?

well its day 19 and just opened bator to turn for last time and top up water bath, had shock of my life........

prob not the correct thread to ask this, but I have 2 drakes and one female duck, they are now over a year old and not had a single egg from the female, would this be due to having 2 drakes with one duck? should I just make one drake into pekin duck so I only have one of each or do ducks...

Just an update on my goslings, they still follow me around when I go into the pen, but mum and dad are certainly the boss when it comes to the babies. I try not to interact too much with goslings as parents are teaching them more than I can. They now stand up to my "bossy ducks" and give as much...

Here is part 2 of the gosling hatching...

Dont know what I was worried about! here comes a gosling...Part one.

Hi all, 5 so far and still counting, here is a pic of the latest one with my Jack Russell "poppy"

A second one hatched overnight, and a third has pipped.

Looks like I will have to sacrifice another picnic cooler box to make another bator for goose and duck eggs then. My goose is laying every 36 hrs at the min but still too cold here in Spain to let her sit. My ducks have yet to lay but as its their first year will let them off being pekin duck...

Just a bit worried as I have goose eggs in my bater as well and they are not due to hatch for another 14 days after chickens, what is best advice on humidity as a best of both worlds (chickens (21days) near hatching and geese (35 days) 2 weeks later). Sorry if a stupid thing to do try and bator...

thanks for the advice, I have seen a couple of the other eggs "wobbling" but no pips yet, fingers crossed.

Here is the youtube link for my new baby, I can now see why this is so addidtive, home made bator out of an old cool box and life appeared before my eyes.

do I put food in there now? or leave it 24hrs?

And out it comes. 18 hours from puip to hatch. come on brothers and sisters.

Here it is, hope it makes it.

There is a hole and I can see the chick moving,

My, first ever home batored egg has just cracked its shell (just a small ammount) and can hear it cheeping, how long should it be before it hatches? 21 days exactly since I took temp up to 102f
