    HELP Duck Eggs day 27 still "shadowing"

    They are so close to internally pipping but they are all still moving against the inner membrane. My incubation was too humid early on so I ran it dry for the last week (around 25%) to grow the air cells but now I'm really worried that they're shrink-wrapped. Humidity inside the hatcher is...

    Black gold speckled rooster (Utah)

    We are willing to give him away for free to a good home, we have too many roosters and they're starting to hurt our ladies a lot. He is very docile, but I would reccomend him to people with bigger chickens (ie, not bantams). First come, first served.
