Quote: Thank you! Yes, I do worry But it's frustrating and I want to be successful at hatching DUCK eggs as well as chicken eggs! Thanks for your advice

Ok...setting tomorrow at 100 degrees...because it's still air and keeping humidity at 55-60 then up to 80 at lockdown? Sound good??

Quote: Ok...that's what I'm gonna try this time....I had my Still air at 102 degrees...this is what Storey's Guide recommends...what do you think for temp? My chicken eggs were at 100-102 and hatched well every time.

Quote: I started with 12 mallard eggs...lost half at 9-10 days....now down to the four and one is definitely dead...possibly two....one has been pipped but not quite all the way through for 2 days....I did bump the humidity but could only get it to 72 % at best....today is day 29...so I feel...

Well good luck with your next hatch...let us know if it does well

Quote: Ugh! Really? That high throughout the whole thing?? My mallard eggs are down from 12 to 4 but one I'm almost positive is dead after internally pipping at day 22.Tomorrow is hatch day but I so far have only one pipped.My humidity in my bator is 72 %... I probably killed them all To the...
