Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Amykins]

oh geez, just the thought of him fluffing out is enuf to put me under. I'd eeeeee so loud, windows in the neighborhood would shatter.

Especially since he was so weak and wobbly, half the time he'd just wind up on his back and would fall asleep in that position

 

[Kaessa]

yay, cuz I want to see them and all their cute poses and expressions.

I guess that means I'd better clean up the good camera! I want to get some that are better than cell phone pics.

and I can only imagine how sweet and innocent he looked. Thank God he has grown into a strong young drake.

oh definitely, better resolution and options for setting the camera based upon the scene.

that's wonderful. I am excited for you AmandaVirginia. What does lockdown mean?

Lockdown is when you raise the HUMIIDTY and keep the bator closed and within three days they should hatch. Some take longer some pop out earlier.

So what should humidity be for call duck eggs during incubation? I am setting it for my new fridgebator. What should it be for lockdown? What would happen if I didnt raise humidity during lockdown?

I incubate around 20% humidity and raise to 65% at lockdown. I would imagine that they'd dry out and shrink wrap if humidity wasn't raised

Did you ever get the temperature issue fixed? ...I mean, at 170o the eggs you had in there probably became soft-boiled!

Ok... What about 40% the whole time? My problem is that I have hatcher in my huge fridgebator but humidity stays the same throughout the entire bator.... So whatever humidity is in the hatcher is also what humidity the eggs are incubated at. I believe lacrystol did a test with not changing anything dring lockdown?

Eh...I wouldn't, personally. And from what I remember, her test didn't end all too well, although I could be wrong on that. 40 is way too high for incubation and way too low for hatching.
