    Cayuga Duck Incubation - yellow spot in egg, active duckling

    This my first time hatching ducklings (hopefully). I only had 3 eggs incubating, and 2 made it to 5 days before set hatch date. I candled them for the last time today and noticed a few things. I think my humidity was too high given the size and shape of the air sac, I need an extra thermostat...

    I have NEVER incubated anything, but the other day I found a duck egg all alone under a tree. It was cold when I picked it up, but I didn't want to risk it being alive so I grabbed it. Anyway, I candled it as soon as I got home, and it was completely clear with kind of a thicker part in the...

We started with 7 eggs 30 days ago (started 18th of September) and We have reason to believe that only 2 are still kicking as they're showing signs of movement and have both internally piped. One of the eggs has cracked the outer...

    Left the lid off the incubator!!

    Hi, I was cooling my day 13 Cayuga eggs today. I'd had a horrid day after a few sleepless nights with sick kids. I forgot and left it off for a bit over an hour. My incubator takes less that five minutes to get up to temp and humidity. Will this be disasterous? I'm freaking out a bit :'(
