hi guys, was looking for some advice..
i work for wildlife rescue aus and a few days ago received some eggs in.. (not wildlife but friends duck)
placed them in the brooder(dont own incubator) at 37.5 humidity 55% as per internet sources.
turned 4 to 6 times a day and candled, they all seem to have survived losing their mum, they are believed to be duck eggs but only one is really big. there was definite movement. today their seems to be quite a lot of movement in air cell but not being practised at this had continued to turn, (until just now reading about lockdown) their are no external pips as yet. There has been some egg shaking, have not heard any vocalisation, not sure of age, the owners said two weeks which would make this three but they also said they were ducks so.. that would give them another week..maybe a mix?
should i up the humidity and leave now? .. advice would be appreciated..
thankyou
