That sounds good! I have them in the center now, but I think when I candle I will space them out a bit more. If they get past 6 days, I may start taking them out for cooling breaks and then put them back in different places, just so no one egg is sitting in a "hot spot". 🤷 I think you're right...

Thanks, I will definitely be checking out that thread! Yeah, I know it's probably a controversial topic, and I haven't washed them yet, like for general storage, I don't. But based on my (albeit limited) research, I decided to wash since they are the only potentially viable eggs from our old...

The regulator looks like it's doing well, and I added an open cup of water into the mini fridge to increase humidity. Not sure if adding a second one would help raise it even a bit higher? But anyway I put today's egg straight in there and will move the ones from the shop in later today. The...

Getting this bad boy fired up! @Huntmaster How did you know!?? Lol I know they sell this one practically everywhere, so I'm sure it's pretty common. Any tips? I've got it warming up on top of the mini fridge upstairs, but it'll probably be moved down into the laundry room tomorrow, since if...

Okay so here's our little egg cache situation out in the shop... We got a third egg today! I'm assuming it's the same girl laying each day, unless I see two at once. The fridge thawed out just fine, but I haven't set that back up yet. Should be an exciting day, picking up our friend's...

Okay yeah, I can for sure do 3 over the weekend, first thing, midday, evening. Weekdays I'm around a little more that maybe I could actually swing 5... 🤔

We're getting the incubator Sunday, so assuming I can get it clean and warming up by the evening, Monday I would be just leaving it to warm for 24 hours and maybe setting Tuesday morning? Wednesday morning latest? I don't want to stretch past a week, which would be Thursday, but it kind of...

That's so good to hear! How important is humidity though? The shop is probably around 50% or less (he has a dehumidifier running so everything doesn't rust out) and I'd rather they were closer to 75%. Should I try to mist them? Or put them in a Rubbermaid or something smaller like that where...

So first hiccup! Lol I underestimated the amount of ice built up in the mini fridge, which is probably not going to allow the temperature in there to come down because... It's a huge chunk of solid ice! 🤦 So now the plan is to unplug everything and let it thaw out in the bathtub overnight so the...

Pics of our first TWO Welsh Harlequin duck eggs!!! Collected 1/19/23 and 1/20/2023. ...and working on the setup for the hatching egg storage mini fridge. I plugged the fridge into the heating side of the outlet, (I figured because it is a refrigerator so naturally it will need to be running...

Hi all! It's been a minute since I was on BYC, but mostly life is good! Sadly though, just after New Year's, we lost our beautiful Welsh Harlequin drake to a predator. That was hard to see, but we were able to bury him with at least a little bit of dignity in the backyard. We had stopped...
