    Air sac too small??

    Hi! I worried about that with mine, too, but they both hatched despite me not doing all of the things I should have. Your humidity was what mine was. Best of luck, I didn't always see mine moving every time I candled them.

    Help! Ducklings just hatched, now what?

    Hi! My two abandoned mallard eggs just hatched! Current temp is 97 and humidity is 75% in incubator with fan. What should those levels be before we move them to the brooder? Also, that's a lot of yolk coming out of one, is that normal?

    Too soon for duckling lockdown?

    Hi! I have two abandoned mallard eggs, I'm not sure what day they are on because I had them under a heatlamp for 18 hours before the incubator got here. Here is a video of the one with more room to grow. We are on either day 25 or 26. The other isn't as active but there is movement.

    Too early for lockdown?

    Air sac too small??

    Thank you! I did see their little webbed feet kicking around. 😊 I've scaled their humidity back about 10% and will check in a couple days. Just nervous since we only have two and wouldn't want one to be lonely.

    Air sac too small??

    Hello, this is my first time incubating eggs and I have two mallard ones that were abandoned. Development and movement of the embryo has been great, but we are around day 19 and I'm concerned about the size of the air sacs. They aren't tilted at an angle like the photos I've seen. Ive tried to...

    First time hatcher, here.

    Hello! I am trying to hatch these 2 mallard eggs that were abandoned at my friend's house. I had them under a heat lamp the first day and my incubator got here the next evening, so we are 10-12 days in the cycle. Does this look normal? I see them swishing around but cannot make out the body. In...
