    Incubating White Call Ducks

    There was no "letting". I was holding her, she saw the water, jumped out of my hand and hopped in before I could stop her. Swam around, jumped out and I dried her off and heated up the rice pad. It was a tiny sandwich Rubbermaid tub with warm water in it, so she was fine. How long have you been...

    Incubating White Call Ducks

    They are adorable! They've imprinted on me and my husband, so they follow us around everywhere. The littlest one is doing great now. Just three days after she hatched I took her out with the big ducks in their kiddy pool and she jumped right in and swam along with them. We ordered some black...

    Incubating White Call Ducks

    Here is my baby Charlie. She is the newest. I had to hatch her by hand-she was very weak. Kept her with me everywhere I went, along with her heat up panda: And then there are Sally and Violet. Sally hatched on Easter Sunday, with a little bit of help, and Violet hatched a couple days after...

    Incubating White Call Ducks

    brewchick We have three babies. We hatched four, lost one.. The weather here has been so crazy we can't seem to keep our temp where it needs to be, so we've lost more than anything. Right now we have a couple ready to hatch any day now and it looks promising. Thanks for all your help!

    Incubating White Call Ducks

    Our first duck hatched last week, and another last night! We have two more due in the next couple of days. You're probably right, the 80 percent humidity was for a different incubator.

    Incubating White Call Ducks

    Ah, that makes sense. I think I was combining methods from two different forums. The other said keep them at 80 percent from day one, which is impossible for me to do anyway. I'll keep the humidity down from now on. What would you suggest if you have duck eggs from different stages all in the...

    Incubating White Call Ducks

    So I've been trying method 2 from your site (I work all the time, so the lazy method sounded better). So far, no luck. They have developed until about 20 days and then just stop. Humidity has been kept at 50 to 60. Right now I finally have some that are still alive and it's day 22, so I've taken...

    Incubating White Call Ducks

    I'm taking my first crack at hatching call duck eggs this year. Our eggs are from our own calls and so far 4 of them are viable. They were incubated on the 8th of March. Our little incubator is at 45% humidity and about 100.5 degrees. We've been trying to get the humidity higher but it seems...
