Hey I got my first pip today. The others were rolling so I had to make a makeshift holder/pedestal. Hopefully the rest will hatch. Got 13 and I know at least 11 are fertile. I'm not the best at candlIng this is only my second time hatching.

Going into lockdown tomorrow. Always nice to read of others with good hatches.

Hey daft if you don't mind if i ask what kind of incubator are you using? Oh by the way have 2 hatched and 1 more pipped.

Daftaboutducks,
They are adorable!

Thanks Dragontamer56 & debbie.george.

The incubator is a home built fridge-a-bator that DH built Dragontamer. Here's a link of the video he made of it.

This is a photo of it.
