    Incubation problem. Only duck eggs.

    So misting actually helps pull moisture from inside the egg?

    Incubation problem. Only duck eggs.

    Yes on the fan. 2 fans. I haven't misted any eggs. I haven't weighed anything either. Just kind of playing the humidity by judging air cells. 30% works great for me, except these darn call eggs.

    Incubation problem. Only duck eggs.

    I can try that, but I will have to wait a bit. Have a bunch of eggs yet. I'm stumped too. Ugh. The eggs in question have sat outside for a week. The owners wait for broodies, but numerous geese, turkeys and other ducks have hatched from the same people. I could understand lower hatch rates from...

    OK, how do I take the gooy stuff out of the equation? Is that a humidity issue?

    Incubation problem. Only duck eggs.

    Temp is 99.5-99.6. Humidity is 30%. Everything is hatching great, even my pea eggs. I started upright and the last batch laying down. Same thing, they start well and just dud out. My incubator turns every hour. Could it be possible that they are getting turned too much?

    Incubation problem. Only duck eggs.

    Thank you, but I've read through those and a ton of other pages. Maybe I will email her. One of the first things I thought of was the eggs standing up. I cut some egg trays and set one batch laying down. You know, I almost think they are getting turned too much. I believe the 1502s turn every...

    Incubation problem. Only duck eggs.

    I can bump it up to 50-60% easy. My problem is they don't make to hatch or even pip internally. I have no problem helping them but I can't get one that far. They all seem to quit after the 2nd week sometime and they all look like the photo above. I just hatched 8/10 runner ducks so I know my...

    Incubation problem. Only duck eggs.

    First off let me say..Chicks, turkeys and geese are hatching well. Even the runner ducks. Temps and humidity are good. This is in a QGF 1502 Seems my problems are with call ducks. They develop and then just quit. Hoping someone can offer some advice, I'm getting frustrated. This is what happens...

    Not to change the subject but, how do you dose the metro tabs? One tab twice per day? Is that 250mg? Do you have a recommended dosage for say 2 month olds?

    The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

    I just picked up my eggs from her. The packing job was fabulous! I candled them as I unpacked expecting several broken air cells. Only one was a bit funky, the rest were absolutely perfect.

    Who is getting eggs?

    That's decent. I have some very dark BCM eggs cooking and I add no water until LD. We went from 5° to 60° and now we have fire warnings. At 5 degrees I had 15%, at 60 degrees the snow melted, I had 30%, now I'm at 18% with fire warmings and warm temps. Now if I would of added water at %15 it...

    Who is getting eggs?

    What's the weather like there? I can about guess the humidity in my incubator by checking the weather. Today, for example, we are in a red flag fire alert. Low relative humity and high winds. House humidity dropped 20 some % and my sportsman dropped 10%.

    Show off your Peas!

    I want to play, but I don't have much for photos. New phone and my wife's the picture taker. Here's one she took of our 3yo white male. I call him "vvrrfffffffttttt". He fans all day and if anything walks in front of him, he does the vvrrffffffffffft. I'm worried he's going to try to mate our...
