Thanks I'll candle again on day 12 and see if it's closer.

I would likely adjust humidity a bit. What is it now?

GUESS WHO HAS FERTILE DUCK EGGS?!?!?!

That is great news!

I thought I had checked yesterday's egg. I was going to call the hatchery to place an order... Know what? No one cares about that stuff. I am just so glad they are fertile!
Now I have to wait a few days to collect enough eggs to set. I'm not waiting ten days though!

Maybe until Friday.

It's at 39%. I have no water in the wells so I'm not sure how to get it down more.

To me, the air cells look ok to a bit big but I only seen them in the picture.

Keep it at 39% for now and adjust on day 10 for ducks. Muscovy are day 12.

For anyone who is hatching duck eggs, the next time you candle could you try and snap a picture of the air cell and post it? I've looked at the diagram but my air cells look small and that they aren't growing. I marked them on day 7 and I know it's only been 2.5 days since but they don't even look like they have grown the slightest. I'm running still air and complexly dry but I can't get my humidity below 45% unless I open it then it drops to 35% when I'm turning but then my temp drops. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

And is it normal that the embryo is favoring one side of the egg? I'm wondering if it's because they where in the carton waiting to be set for to long? I don't remember the chicken eggs doing this. Sorry for the quality of the pictures best I can do one handed with an iPhone.

I noticed the same thing in my chicken eggs: the embryo seems to be on one side of the egg. Don't know if that is a reason to worry or not...

I had downloaded hatchabatch before and I never had paid for that ap? why do they charge for it now?

We downloaded it yesterday and did not pay. It asked for a credit card but we opted to skip that step and it let us download.
