Hey there, I'm a brand new member! But I have been frequenting these forums and soaking up the vast knowledge you all share for over a month now.
I live in New Zealand and it is summer here, I am currently incubating some Pekin and Cayuga duck eggs
I used to raise ducks and chickens when I was younger, but have not done so for many years. I am very excited to be trying my hand at this stuff again!!
It is currently day 24 of their incubation. I'm using a JANOEL12 incubator and i got my eggs in the mail. Many had dislodged air sacs and it was thanks to much of the great info on here that I was able to help the eggs develop as smoothly as they have. Of the 13 eggs, 1 was infertile and 1 of the healthier looking eggs died at day 10 (its air sac was practically perfect). So 11 are still going strong I think and they are just beginning to show signs that they will be internally pipping soon.
I will upload lots of pictures and maybe even links to videos of them on Youtube (QUESTION: Is posting links to Youtube allowed?)
Just wanted to get a thread up and running and say hi
