[Amykins]

I know I'm saying In the summertime you may want to change that up a bit. Silly girl

I'm not incubating in summer. Silly woman.

Amykins, haha, have been on YouTube watching various duck vids and just saw yours of "Wobbles Spazzing Out." He is funny.

Oh, dear...I've actually had random people refer to me as "the duck lady" online, this is starting to get out of control!

The guys at TSC call me "the duck lady" because the first time I showed up looking for babies I was wearing this t-shirt:

40 is good but you can not leave it at that during lockdown, big commercial hatchers will remove the eggs to another BATOR and lay then down and raise the humidity.

I have never tested it at 40 I have tested it at 50 to 55 even at lockdown.. But did have to spray the eggs at least once on here due date...

Ok, I will just spray the eggs when they go in the hatcher...

Perdy's 5 little ones, due to hatch Saturday, are all doing wonderfully! I just candled them

.......And.......

Her other 12 I put in there (until I go and get a second incubator tomorrow morning) on March 12th were just candled as well! Eleven of the twelve have heartbeats Those little walking fuzzlets of mine are due the day after Easter!

okay what i dont get is while the northern states get upset when the temperature is in the 90's for the summer, i get that yall arent used to it and stuff but we get it alot hotter downhere alot of times its in the hundreds by july.

sorry if this is random just really wakeing up

I live in PA and wish it would ever get hot in the summer. I am moving to south soon hopefully (Maybe in about 5 yrs)

This is good but in the summertime you may want to go a little higher..

That might only work for you.... Humidity can vary greatly from room to room, house to house, and state to state.

It's gonna be murder up here, too...fourth year in a row we've had record breaking warm winters, which means another record breaking heat wave in summer. Blergh. But right now it's pretty cool and humid, and when I incubated my eggs last year it was the middle of July and they were still sticky! Also the incubator is fully automated, so the external temp and humidity doesn't really matter when the bator itself is so small and self-contained. If I want to bump up the humidity all I gotta do is put a wet cotton ball in there and it'll go up by 20% within minutes, and stay that way until it dries out..

Just with a wet cotton ball. LOL that could be a great benefit but also a bad one...
