    Best incubator/Brooder?

    Emit my 9 year old Call duck has tried to sit this time on her eggs earlier this year, however, she left the nest. She has started laying again, should I leave her again with them and hope she stays or should I attempt to incubate? If so what’s the best incubator to get ?

    Candling pics Day 11... are they ok? My first attempt at incubation!

    Hey guys, I have a few eggs that I'm unsure about and would love anyone to gloss over the pics if possible...It's Day 11. I believe there's some massive air cells (detached or saddled?) so they're sitting in incubator pointy side down. Thanks heaps :)
