    HELP! No electricity from storm

    We just lost power from the storm & I’ve got duck eggs in the incubator. How can I keep them warm enough while also keeping proper humidity? All I can find online for no electricity incubation is it being supplemented with sunlight which we don’t have right now.

    Is this a normal sized embryo?

    Hi there, I’m incubating duck eggs, and today they’re at day 25. I’m wondering if this is normal: (#2 and #3 are of the same egg) Both embryos are still very much alive and move around a lot. Just wondering if the size and orientation is normal.
