    Duck eggs generating their own heat?

    I was gonna answer that I have 6 vents of the width of and half the thickness of my finger, but I just found out that even when I unplugged the incubator and opened the incubator lid completely, it didn't speed up the loss of heat by any one bit. The day time temperature has reached 35 C 95 F...

    Duck eggs generating their own heat?

    First time hearing that name. Well I just looked up and I can probably get one shipped here within a week, but the price is much higher than the generic infrared thermometer, so the latter is more preferable. Either way a week will be already 2 days after hatch date... so maybe not.

    Duck eggs generating their own heat?

    Hello, The problem is currently the temperature is consistently probably either too high or too low. Incubator thermometer reads 37.3 C 99.14 F, the second thermometer reads 37.9 C 100.2 F. I'm setting the thermostat at 37.2 C 98.9 F, lower than the optimum so that both thermometer read...

    Duck eggs generating their own heat?

    I read that some days into the incubation, the eggs would start generating their own heat, and I may need to turn down the thermostat slightly. I only got another digital thermometer to calibrate my incubator's thermostat at 7th day of incubation. Back then, my second thermometer would read...
