    Incubator Problems :(

    I still think it is a temperature problem. Maybe u should get a mercury thermometer and check it against ur bator temp. Make sure the bator is calibrated properly. At this rate loosing all those ducklings is going to start to be very depressing.

    Incubator Problems :(

    The egg u opened did it start pipping? If I was u I would leave the hole open bcos the duckling probably already started breathing externally. Judging from what u say if its overdue and still a lot of yolk it sounds like a temp problem. Humidity is most needed at time of hatching. U said its ur...

    Incubator Problems :(

    The incubator needs to be shielded I recommend wrapping it in some heat shield material. Because of the plastic material it is easy for the external temperature to interefere with the internal temp. Hopes this help

    Incubator Problems :(

    Those cheap incubators my god. Hatcher guy is right the temp is off. Please buy a mercury thermometer and put it inside the incubator and adjust as necessary. Its always sad when eggs don't hatch but almost fully developed.

    Incubator Problems :(

    The air pump pumps air through water and a fan pulls this air into the incubator. This slowly lowers the humidity until the humidifier comes on and raises back the humidity. So the humidity remains between 55 and 60%. All this is in a compartment inside the incubator if it didn't have this, the...

    Incubator Problems :(

    I think u should invest some money and build a proper home incubator. I did, it was not cheap but I am totally happy with my results. . This incubator can handle up to 500 eggs.
