    Hello all, I've been stressing over this egg, as I'm a new hatcher and had became concerned as I noticed more bruising has started to appear on the membrane end of the egg. I'm growing nervous, as the duck is positioned awkwardly, and I'm unaware if he/she could be malpositioned and is...

    Indian Runner ducklings: Blue female x Fawn & White male ducklings

    I haven't seen any photos or much discussion on colors of mixed Indian Runners. Of course they won't be pure, show birds. But, thought others might be interested in seeing the variety. I'll post more photos when they grow their adult plumage.

    Goose eggs

    I am getting a couple goose eggs, I have had zero luck hatching ducks with my incubator but great success with chickens. My question is should I incubate the goose eggs like a chicken in my incubator or would it be best to put them under my broody muscovy duck? My muscovy just went broody...

    Which is worse: humidity too high or too low

    I was wondering what would be worse for incubating chickens, having the humidity too high or having it too low. I know that they both present there share of problems but I didn't know if one was worse than the other. Right now my humidity is around 68-73% and I didn't know if I should try to get...

    Incubator at 120

    I came home today to our incubator at 120 degrees - the temperature knob had gotten bumped and was at the highest setting. I immediately opened the incubator and got the temp back to 100. My partner had checked it a few times throughout the day and said the temperature was good٫ but it could...

    Help, I opened the incubator.

    We are hatching quail for the first time and they started yesterday morning. We have a timer set to take them out, but I noticed one was stuck where the egg Turner used to be so I got the others to move to the other side (they follow the light) and opened the lid about 2 inches and got baby...

    Does .5 make a difference in incubation temperature?

    Hi all, My incubator is sitting at 37.7 degrees on the outside but the little temp gage on the inside is sitting at 37degrees. Should I add temp so that the inside says 37.5 degrees? Im on day 4 of the incubation and want to make sure that the .5 degrees doesn’t ruin my hatch? Thanks so much

    It’s been 24 hours since internal pip. Should I make a safety hole?

    Hey all I need some advice, It’s day 29 of incubation for my khaki Campbell/pekin mix eggs, and only one duckling (as far as I can tell) internally pipped about a day ago. Should I wait a bit longer, or go ahead and make a safety hole? I can hear more than one duckling tapping on the inside of...

    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.

    What is your method for incubation?

    This is our 3rd time hatching eggs. The first 2 times were much more successful than this last time. The first 2 times I quickly pulled the chicks out after they hatched. I was worried about the chicks bumping the other eggs around and delaying them or causing them to not hatch. I understand...

    URGENT DUCK EGG ADVICE PLS

    Ducky had started to externally pip 24+ hrs ago and made some holes! When i could finally see his beak through the hole i noticed the membrane still covering most of it. I decided to peel back more of the shell and use a wet Q Tip to damp the membrane and move it so the duckling could breathe...

    Not a really a question but an observation

    Hello all! I’m currently incubating 5 Welsh Harlequin/Pekin duck eggs and I’m curious about success rates for everyone else. I hatched a batch of 6 a few years ago with a 100% success rate, and so far, with the five eggs I‘m incubating now everything is going along very smoothly; they are in...

    Duck Egg Internal Pip?

    So it’s day 23 for this ducky and the air cell has increased a LOT in the past few days. I marked it on day 21 and you can definitely see the difference now! I just checked on ducky to see what he’s up to, is this an internal pip on day 23? I can not hear chirping, the egg has been rocking and...

    Duck Names

    Today I have started incubating 6 duck eggs again :) Most likely, all 6 won't hatch but hopefully a few of them will be successful this time! So, I'd like to know what I could name my duckies and would love to know what everyone else has called their ducks! <3 Me and my partner currently like...

    Hi I have been reading through some past posts, I am just a little bit worried as my duck egg has no internally pipped (as i’m aware of) and it’s coming to the end of Day 27 nearly Day 28. Apparently my duck egg is a Cherry Valley Duck Egg. The duck appears quite small, but I might just be...
