Hi all. I'd like to join you. I have 3 ancona eggs in the incubator that are due to hatch the day after Thanksgiving. I can't wait!! I have 18 chicken eggs that went in first and are due on the 11th. Also going to add a few EE eggs in a few days so they will be due the same day as the ducks. The chicken eggs are all from my chickies, but the duck eggs I bought on eBay and had shipped. This is my first ever experience with incubating and in my own homemade 'bator to boot! Boy am I a glutton for punishment or what.

Did you get them from NC? I got some from there and mine are due to hatch Thursday!!!
Yep mine came from NC as well. Yours are due much sooner than mine. I'm jealous!
I just am hoping so hard that I get at least one or two live lil' duckies.
They arrived in really good condition. Only one had a detached air cell. I let them sit undisturbed for 24 hours before putting them in the 'bator, and am not turning them for a couple days. Hopefully the air cell will reattach and still be a viable egg.

Lets hope it reattachs!

They can still hatch even with detached air cells. Mine right now (four total) one had a detached air cell and it settled basically across the whole egg. I'm having to assist hatch it but he's alive
I'll post a picture getting ready to bust him out now. So yeah if it doesn't re- attached but the embryo is alive then don't give up on it!!!
Yes I'm very happy with the condition all 3 of mine from NC are currently still alive. They go into lockdown tomorrow so I fully expect all to hatch!!

All 4 are out!! I had to assist hatch ALL of them. Also my Anconas from our mutual "friend" I'm down to 5 that are still alive, so grr.
