    Black feather on my white Campbell

    Hi has anyone ever experienced this before, I started to notice a funny colour mark on my white Campbell’s back. Iv just had a little look and in between her wings on her back she has a bluey/black feather, it’s only become noticeable the past 2 days. Has anyone had this or know why she has it?

    Humidity

    Hi wondered if anyone can help, I’m incubating some duck eggs, I’m on day 6 at the moment. Currently the humidity isn’t getting to any higher than 46% roughly sits between 44 and 45 most of the time though. Is this to low and will it affect my hatching rate? Any suggestions will be much appreciated
