    A Hatcher?

    I hatched a hybrid duck about two months ago and he's part Giant Pekin and I noticed that once he hatched and could stand he kept hitting the heating element ring. He didn't get burnt but I'm hatching two more and am 90% positive they are the same breed that the first duck was, so I'm a bit...

    Hatching ducks, got a quick question.

    So I pipped around 5:00 PM today, and my mother is really worried, because the last one died. So, how long does it take for then to fully hatch? When do I know/should intervene?

    Humidity Problem (duck egg)

    Alright, my last and only hope as recently pipped through in the last hour, and I'm still having issues with the humidity. The temperature inside is 101.7 F and the humidity is at 60 percent when it should be at 70 percent. I have the rings filled, a total of 8 sponges, and two soaked...

    Baby Duckling on the way, I really need advice!

    Okay I'm afraid I have an early hatch. I'm hatching a mallard duckling and it's only day 21. I went in at 8:30 tonight to turn it and refill the rings and it felt it pipped underneath the shell. So I assume if it makes it to actually breaking through the shell it will be sometime tomorrow. I...
