The cutie. Cuddling with some mittens

Thanks. I have 3 jars of water in the cooler to get the humidity up and the duckling is trying to cuddle with the jars. I'll put something for it to cuddle with tomorrow. I have another 20 duck eggs that are suppose to hatch on Thursday so hopefully he gets some company than.

Thanks . My little duckling hatched today.

The cooler wasn't ideal, but I needed a hatcher. Won't be hatching in it again, too hard to regulate temp and humidity. I had the duckling hatch today and it;s healthy. It was rather bizarre, as it just made various holes and didn't appear to zip. I don't think the other eggs will hatch.

First time hatching duck eggs, second round of hatching eggs. Why has the duckling pipped in two spots? I have them in a cooler to hatch. I had 11 eggs in and than added 20 eggs a week later so I had to come up with a hatcher. The cooler is driving me batty trying to keep the humidity and...

I have 3 thermometers in my incubator and all 3 have a different temp so it's nice knowing I might get some ducklings if I can keep it between 95 F to 104 F. Thankfully it's never been over 102 F in my incubator.

I'm incubating 31 duck eggs and my incubator temp has been all over the map. I'm trying to keep it at 99.5 F, but my incubator doesn't like that temp, lol. I found this online: Zone of heat injury (above 40.5°C/104.9°F) Zone of hatching potential (35 – 40.5°C/95 F- 104.2) Zone of...

My dad bought me an incubator. I can't believe he actually bought it for me, lol. I live in the city and he lives on a farm and I fill his farm up. First hatch I had a 54 % hatch rate and now I have 31 duck eggs in it. I also have a Silkie sitting on some goose eggs. Yeah I'm addicted to...
