I have hatched over 100 eggs from my show calls.....don't use an egg turner. turn them by hand 3 x a day.....and I do not mist the eggs until they pip. twice a day. sometimes they pip around the egg but don't rip through the membrane so I will help them out. I raise my ducklings on wire after 3 days...they play in the water fountains so much that they will swamp up their bin in a day, on wire they stay dry. In groups of 6 or more I give them heat this time of year only for a week.....
