    Call Ducks - Over the 26th day mark

    Thank you! I am going to buy the next lot from a local market and try increasing my temp just a smidge and go off the temp separate to the incubator! Thank you again! I’ll keep you posted on what happens and now doubt have some more questions with the next lot!

    Call Ducks - Over the 26th day mark

    I can’t see any movement, I thought I herd a cheap but I think that was wishful! I’m going to leave them in for a few more days and cross my fingers but I think they’ve stopped :(:( I’m going to try again for sure but not sure weather to hatch some bantums first and then try putting them under...

    Perfect! Do you think there is any harm in candling them again tonight to see?

    Oh, one last question! With the egg pictures that you saw, how long would you say till they hatch if they are going to? Thanks again!!

    Ohhh they are so ridiculously cute I really hope some of mine make it!! Will have a read up and try to get more prepared for next time, should also help to keep me away from the incubator I don't think opening the lid has helped! Hatching Indian Runners seemed like a holiday compared to this!

    Oh my humidity seems like it was way to high for the first 22 then it was more like 45-50%. Where abouts are you based, should humidity outside the incubator make much difference? I think I will wait to see what happens with these and then order some more! I hope some of them make it! But...

    That's such a shame, any idea what I might have done wrong? Do you think I should turn the temperature up? Thanks, Georgie.

    Candled the eggs just now! To me some of them look almost ready, I can see some of their beaks really clearly! Some see a little less far on! I don’t know if this means the ones less far have drowned or died for another reason or if they are just a little late! My temperature is set to 100f but...

    Thank you so much for replying so quickly! Do you think the humidity of 70% is okay or should I be a little lower! Read lots of contrasting opinions with calls! I will candle them tonight and see! Thanks again!!

    Call Ducks - Over the 26th day mark

    Hi All, I would really LOVE some help. I now have 9 eggs in the incubator that I checked/candled at day 22 and they were all growing! I can add videos and pictures (if I can work out how) but you can see almost all the egg is dark, they have large air sacs, and in one video you can even see a...

    The Duck Thread

    Okay! I am going to do this! And I'm going to do it right! Would something like this be okay? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=121455838818&globalID=EBAY-GB I think I could have saved the duckling if I had acted sooner this time but it's so hard to tell and I didn't...
