Starting to get excited for my hatch.Going to set up the brooder today.If all goes well We should have 13 baby ducks on the 29th-1st.Oh how I love duckies,

What temp and humidty did you use. I'm setting duck eggs for the first time March 10th.

This is a good site to explain temp and humidity and the whole duck incubation process. (Keep in mind ducks incubate about 28 days. 10 days longer then chickens)

Thanks, I read Storey's guide, but like additional resources.

I've just set 14 eggs under my standard cochin hen who went broody on Friday morning. Set them under her around lunch yesterday. So we are expecting them to hatch on March 17th This will be my first time hatching anything, and I am stoked!

Well this is day three on my 17 chicken eggs from my flock. I candled them all and ALL 17 have spider veins

Yay! For fertile chickens!

Hi everyone. I would love to join. We have 17 eggs that are now on day 3. It is our first time incubating, so it's super exciting. We candled them today and I thought all 17 were fertile. I have read more, and now I think we may have "blood rings" in a few. Can anyone give me their opinion on what they see. I would appreciate it!!

 

[casslarrabee225]

The first two look like blood rings to me. But I've never actually seen one.

 

[mlm Mike]

I would wait and candle again sometime between days 7 and 10.

I would hold off. Day three is not a good day to make a decision about a blood ring. As far as I know they show up later, I may be wrong.

These are really good pics. How do you do it?

 

[rebelINny]

The first two definitely look like blood rings to me and at three your eggs should look like this if they growing and fertile. I know the pic isnt that great, sorry but you can see what looks like a red spider or octopus in the middle...thats the chick growing and veining out.
