    Just my personal experience, but I had eggs at all different stages in my incubator. I too would up the humidity but only to 65-70% when I had eggs/egg in the last 3 days.

    Duck eggs????

    I know that this is a chicken forum, but I was hoping someone here would have some experience with hatching duck eggs. Is it the same as hatching a chicken egg other than it takes a duck egg 28 days to hatch? Any info would be great, thanks

    Day 19 questions

    I have had some not move much or peep until the day they are due to hatch (day 21) It can also take up to 23 days so I would just wait it out and try not to worry about it, I know that is easier said than done Good luck with your eggs...hope you have baby chicks soon
