Woohoo. How cute

They are so cute.  I have four in the incubator.  It is day 23 they have not broken through the air cell yet.  Do I quit turning on day 24 or Day 23?  Three of mine look like the egg is pretty full, the third almost looks like an aircell above and one below, not so sure about that one, although their is movement in all of them.  Do you lay flat for lockdown or put them upright in egg crate.

I quit turning on day 22 and lay them flat. I still mist them on day 22 and 23 and on day 23 I raise humidity to 65% for lockdown

These are the six that made it out. I love them! It's kinda hard to see in the picture but 2 of them are very silvery. Can't wait to see how they feather out since it was from a mix flock and I have no idea what to expect.

Who'd you get the eggs from???

On day 23 they usually don't? You quit turning on day 23 THAT IS if your talking about Call Ducks?? Duck eggs always need to be laying down. They seem to do better

I have never hatched call ducks before.

That's why we are HERE, will help
