Yes I did, like you said with a little bit of coconut oil. It’s clear again. The chick is still breathing.
I will help it. I already did read the whole article twice and watched some videos on YouTube.
All the others are fine. Half of them are in the brooder nice and dry, the others are sleeping...
I did take the completely dried out. They were rolling the egg all the time. Now it's calmer in the incubator. And the chick is still alive, it cheeps from time to time and I see it breathing clearly.
It was the longest night in my life as mum of 3 kids
I did read somewhere that the higher humidity helped them to hatch?
But I did lower it to 50%. 2 have piped just now. What do I have to do next? Wait until the others pip and put the humidity at 65% or higher it now?

I will! They are still wobbling. We are all amazed by it.
And yes we use a forced air incubator, the rCom 20, it has a clear cover so we can see everything. I’m really pleased with it!
We noticed they were moving right after we candled them. We took the empties away and now we still...
I just have fertile eggs in the incubator! I love your disposal and learned a few things in your article, especially about the dirty water / manure. I will take this in my plan for the ducks!
And I love everything is so colourful! Thank you for sharing!!!
Yes I’m sure. I received my eggs on Wednesday and I did put them in the incubator at noon. Humidity was 45% and temperatures 37,5°C/100°F. Now I did put it at 65% and lowered the temperature at 37°C/98,5°F. I was chocked when I saw them moving!!!
hello,
I have hatching fever.
I just hatched a chic and she was adopted by one of our hens. But I do want to have Indian runners for a while, and I bought some eggs
I know that the incubation time is 28 days, but how high does the humidity has to be? And at lockdown? And what does a duckling...
