Anyone have some input on this?Would hydrogen peroxide kill any mites if there was any on the eggs?
I used it my first time. I had 49 eggs. 10 were not fertilized. Left me with 39 eggs. All but 2 fully hatched. 2 were delayed in hatching and didn't make it out of the egg fully before passing. I had 37 ducklings running around my first time. Was not expecting it. I read your lucky to have 25% hatch so when that many hatched I was tickled but unprepared. I'm going to do the same process again and see what happens.I too, have read a lot about using peroxide on eggs. Supposedly it’s actually a “patented procedure”. Spraying peroxide on eggs. And I read most hatcheries do it too. A lot saying it really DOES improve hatch rate. I read to use 3% which is the normal kind you get at the drugstore, and spray it right on the eggs and let them dry, before setting in incubator. Also you can dilute with water 1:1 and disinfect your incubator. I have some more silkie eggs coming this week that I’m gonna try it on...
I do it every time. On day 11 and all 22 are looking good! I use one drop of oxEdrops in the gallon of distilled water to keep water clean too. Never have bacterial problems.I’ve been watching you tube videos on people spraying their eggs with 3-7% hydrogen peroxide on eggs before setting eggs? They all claim an improved hatching rate I am thinking I’m going to try it with about a hundred eggs that I’ll put in the incubator and would like to hear y’all’s experiences with this.
