    Hello

    HELP!

    I am a believer in dry incubation. I keep humidity at about 20-30% through incubation and leave the air vent open- checking air cell and loss of moisture when I candle and adjusting humidity to fit. If they are losing moisture too fast then add more water to increase humidity. Eggs vary on how...

    North to Alaska!

    Hello, I am in Kasilof and have a few questions. I would love to have ducks up here but in the past I can't get my ducks to go into an enclosure or coop at night. In the lower 48 the fox picked them all off because of this. How do you deal with this issue here and is there any way to teach them...

    Yes, it's ok. Truth be told I never pay attention to the yolk, just veining and little specks that move

    Leaving the egg turner in and turning after day 18?

    I take the turner out at lock down and I hatch in plastic yellow hatching trays that I picked up cheap online somewhere. You can use egg cartons though. The yellow trays are easy to clean and sterilize between hatches and I also store the eggs that I want to incubate in them. I prefer to...

    Hey, that's perfect. Each egg is different and the embryo's do their own thing. But if you see veins and especially moving bodies you are in business. Chicks mature in just 21 days and things change rapidly each day. Around day 14 it's almost too difficult to see anything.

    Leaving the egg turner in and turning after day 18?

    If you can, use a separate incubator for hatching without the turner. The chick can get stuck or squashed with the turner in there.

    Candling Egg

    It doesn't look fertile to me but do check in a few days and you should know by then. It should have tiny red veins spidering on the inside.
