Hi I am trying to hatch Pekin duck eggs but I am getting a lot of deaths of the embryos. This is occurring after a week and sometimes after two weeks My hatching temperature is 37.4 and relative humidity is 52. The eggs are turned every one and a half hours Has anyone any advise??
Hi I have pekin ducks My problem is that the freshly laid eggs seem to be going bad after 2 to3 days I collect the eggs on a daily basis and keep them in a cool room but they go rotten in a few days Can anyone tell me why and how I can prevent this happening
Hi I have pekin ducks and am finding that the eggs that are laid daily are going rotten after 3 to 4 days. Does anyone know the reason for this I am collecting them daily and keeping them in a cool room but they are not lasting. Please help!!
Hi all, when incubating my duck eggs I use a temperature of 37.5 c and a humidity of between 35% and 45% When they are near piping I move them to a hatcher and stop turning, lease confirm what temperature and humidity I should set in hatcherThanks
Hi further to my inquiry, if I bring the humidity down to 35 to 45%,at piping time do I have to move eggs to a hatcher with a higher humidity and temperature or can they hatch in the incubator?
With reference to turning, do piping eggs have to not turn?
Thank you for your reply Harare is at an altitude of about 5000 Ft I will try lowering the humidity to 50% and let you know the results Thanks once again
