    Please help!! call ducklings dying during hatch

    I started with 7 eggs, all fertile and all were growing and developing fine. 3 days ago I candled and 2 of the eggs had died and stopped growing, no veins and the inside was yellow. There 2 both had much smaller airsacs then the rest so I’m assuming that is why they died? I removed those 2 and...

    Air sacs different sizes duck eggs day 23?

    I am concerned with why the air sacs in my call duck eggs are different sizes. We are on day 23 and 2 of them have nice big air sacs (I can actually see one seems to be trying to push through the air sac to make an internal pip). The other 5 eggs air sacs are quite small still and I don’t...

    Air pocket in duck egg day 20, humidity issues

    I’m on day 20 of incubating my duck egg. Only one developed out of the 4 unfortunately so I’m very nervous. I’ve been having issues keeping humidity consistently at 55%. It’s usually 60% and then will drop down to like 25-30%. Where I live is very dry so I have to add water a few times a day. I...

    Hello, I am new to incubating eggs. Currently I have 4 duck eggs in my EZ simply incubator. This incubator does not have a build in hygrometer so I bought one to try and keep track. From what I have read online, humidity for the first few weeks should be about 55%. I have been having issues...
