I've got 6 eggs I set on the 12th. This is my first attempt at ducks. I hatched out 4 geese on 4/4. I have the ducks in a bator with 18 guinea eggs. I am keeping my humidity at 45-50, hand turning 3 times a day and keeping the still air hovabator at 102.5. I know the bator instructions state to use 99.5 but I have read that in a still air you need 102.5. Any thoughts?

Count me in!
I have 4 Rouen eggs from my duck and 5 Campbell eggs that were shipped to me. They were set on the evening of April 2nd. They are in a home-made cabinet incubator, forced air at About 100° and 55% humidity.

I had 13 Cambells shipped to me, but only 9 made the trip intact. Most of the shipped eggs had weird air cells. 3 eggs did not make the first week, and I dropped one while I was turning them

So now I have 5 left.

My 4 Rouen eggs had perfect air cells, and they are my "control group" so I can make sure that the humidity and air cell changes are right on track. And I haven't lost a single one.

They eggs will be spending lockdown at my daughter's preschool so her classmates can see the hatch. I am so excited for them to see the ducklings hatch!!

If my humidity drops I add a small amount of water, like maybe 2-3 tbs to the middle tray and it pops the humidity back to where it should be.
