Sorry Sally, but I've been horse obsessed much longer than duck or chicken or goat or fill in the blank here! That method works fine for me.

I've got 6 Cayuga eggs left that haven't hatched. Two have large pip holes and I'm thinking they will hatch tonight. Two more just have their first small pip. Two more have pipped in the last hour but on the wrong end! The last Buff duck was the same way so hopefully these two make it out as well 
I can still see them all wiggling when I candle so at least I know they're still alive!

I mentioned a nest in my outdoor oven. Here it is. Not sure how I will block it off.
VERY pretty egg basket!
I am way behind in posts, I'm sure you've seen answers to this somewhere in the 300 posts I haven't yet read, but I have 3 of them. All 3 are WAY too hot for me to touch for long periods of time, but the babies LOVE THEM. My chicks are way quieter and happier than when I had heat lamps. They also sleep all night, they don't really start making noise until the sun comes up. The only problem i have with them is that I have to pick up the whole plate to see the chicks, and they they won't MOVE when I try to put it back down.
I don't think I could keep my hand there for a full 10 seconds....but I"m a wimp.
Nice colored eggs. I found every time I take all the eggs from a place they have been hoarding them, they move to a new location. So, try taking the eggs and see if they relocate?I mentioned a nest in my outdoor oven. Here it is. Not sure how I will block it off.

Me too, so I learned to add a fake egg or two so they would keep using the same nest. Sometimes worked (not always...)
Long busy day, and I need to get the resting chickens into the freezer this evening. I think I might need a nap first - soooooo tired...

I wasn't offered ducks from Liz either.
I don't really want them laying there. However, I would love to know if my Pekin moved her nest, or isn't laying.

Eggs due in 18 hours. Now 8 of the 18 eggs are pipped.
This will be the second successful hatch of a broken egg. This batch's broken is pipping.
I sealed the break immediately with liquid skin bandage. The first few times I tried to hatch broken eggs I either used beeswax or nail polish. They all failed (not necessarily because of the sealant).
Another thing I'd like to share for staggered hatchers in a still air incubator. The mature eggs are generating heat while the newer eggs aren't.
The side with the eggs about to hatch is at 102.1 in one corner. The opposite corner with the newer eggs is at 98.1. Just because there isn't a fan.
