So if my humidity is truly that high would you suggest dumping the water and doing dry hatch? Before I put water in it was staying around 25 and I thought that was too low so I did the water lol
I have a nurture right 360. Followed paper instructions for temp and humity on duck eggs and chick eggs and had great hatch success. For guineas do I follow the same temp and humidity as chickens but 28 days? Also...I can't get my humidity down from 57 and it needs to be lower...any suggestions...
Thank you so much! I can get nutritional yeast tomorrow but it will be Saturday before I can get the b complex. I feel like she needs this instead of being lazy bc she hasn't been like this and today seemed like she has gotten worse...before I felt like she was just sorta a clutz but after...
Would it be good to buy both the vitamin b and nutritional yeast so I can give all my ducks the yeast over their food but then give my duck with the issue the b complex to fix her up?
I have a duckling that is 5 weeks old and it wobbles around and trips over its feet...it's like it's pigeon toed...I noticed today it has laid around more than the others probably bc it's having a hard time getting around. I have tried to research this and I find stuff about Niacin or Vitamin B...
Just woke up for that 2am pee break 😂 went and checked on them and another has hatched... Do you think if I wait until this evening around 7:30 or 8 I can do a quick grab of all that's inside? Some will be a lil over 24 hrs and some under depending how many hatch while I'm at work today. If I do...
I have 7 duck eggs in the nurture right 360 incubator. First time ever incubating and I plan to do chicks next so this question applies now and in the future lol. Anyways, of the 7 eggs, three hatched today between 4:45-7:30...one hatched around 4:45 then when I got back home at 7:30-7:40ish...
Oh and if some of them happen to not rotate can I open it and manually rotate them? I have a couple that I think are going to be too big to rotate automatically
Thank you...one last thing and Im sticking them in tonight lol. Do you wash the eggs or wipe them off with a wet paper towel? I've read do not wash them but I've also read make sure they are clean bc bacteria can mess you up. 🤦🏻♀️😂
Can I get some more help on humidity...I have heard 45-60, 40, instructions say around 50. It's currently at 51-52% with vent half open and spot A has water in it. It's kept that all day today. Temp is 99.5...am I good to put duck eggs in and maintain this?
Ok so I got an incubator for an early birthday present and I am wanting to do my duck eggs first because I am rehoming my male duck tomorrow due to he is pulling my hens feathers out and stressing them so I have found a perfect home where he is going to get waaay too spoiled but that's perfect...
We had a Rhode island red when I was growing up that had cross beak and it never affected her eating but we kept it trimmed back...we just used finger nail clippers or puppy nail clippers to just trim the top beak enough to where it didnt hang over the bottom beak...keep them fairly even lengthed.
I know this is an old thread...but I got a Cayuga baby duck and I was so excited anticipating these black or dark gray eggs...her very first egg was like a dusty white lol. And every one after that one has just been an off-white color. NEVER gotten gray or black 😂😂 I was bummed but shes so...
