11th Annual Easter Hatch a Long 2020

I have a question for anyone that has an IncuView incubator. How often are you adding water? I feel like my humidity drops more often than I expected.

I feel like my IncuView runs a little drier than my other incubators but I usually only add water twice a day unless I'm at lockdown and then I use a sponge and a straw through the vent hole to add water to the sponge.

I will be candling my 7 duck eggs tomorrow, checking for any quitters.

Trader Joe's is affiliated with Aldi, right? Because we have no TJ's around here, but plenty of Aldi stores.. maybe the Aldi eggs would hatch as well as the TJ eggs..?

I feel like my IncuView runs a little drier than my other incubators but I usually only add water twice a day unless I'm at lockdown and then I use a sponge and a straw through the vent hole to add water to the sponge.

I use an irrigation syringe (made to squirt liquids into (for example) a wound, etc.) with some plastic tubing pushed onto the nozzle. I feed the tubing through the vent hole and over the trench I want to fill, then gently add the water so as not to soak any eggs. Once or twice a day.

I peaked in my egg so the chick that's hatching is yellow and black... So weird. I've never had that color combo before with my BJG.

I have one egg pipped, but that bird is taking his time

Candled today, I could see veins in about half the eggs, though I didn’t have the best flashlight and some of the eggs are brown, so it was harder to see in those. I’m very excited to see what happens with them.

Chicks hatching today all you have to wait

I have to wait too but at least I get chicks early to tie me over

Me too

these are for a friend. Just out last night.

Thought this was a simple but interesting watch

True or not, I can't say, but there was recently a long thread on a hatching facebook group about hatching from walmart eggs. Apparently people have successfully, although the word is that Trader Joe's eggs have a better hatch rate.

Don’t know about Walmart but the fertile eggs at Trader Joe’s works real well.
