Do you have more in there? If so make all of them a safe hole..Boost your humidity up about 65 to 70

How are things going?

I have a different type in there now, but I am not doing something right. I have lost more than are making it. I think the humdity is too low. they are alive right up to the due date, then when they should be internally pipping, they die. the membrane is white, and dry but doesn't look like it is stuck to them.

I did make a safe hole for the one's in my incubator now, and they were alive when I came to work. they are due on Monday 5/26. So I will check them when I get home.

Thanks for any advice you have, I am getting kinda bummed about hatching ducks....

What is your humidity at right now??

 

[duck mom newbie]

Humidity is between 60 and 65%, temp 99.5. I have made safe holes for all and they seem to be doing OK. They do seem to be taking a longer time to hatch this way, but they are still alive.

Raise the humidity up about to 70% that should help..
