I just went to make sure the bator was ok and when I moved the egg a little on the paper towel there was a tiny bit of yellowish drainage that I think came from the hole! Is this good or bad? The only reason I moved him was because his air-sack needed to be a bit more elevated. I was able to get the humidity up, using the damp rag suggestion, and it is now above 80% which is about right for ducks. Does the drainage mean that there will be a new duck soon? It wasn't red, just a darker yellow. Don't know what it is

Yolk maybe? Did you notice any odor? I don't know but someone here will know.

 

[LissyB]

No odor, just there.

By the way! The hole is in the air-sack side. Although nothing has happened my face is glued to the incubator window! I'm doing my school next to it and not getting it done that fast!

i just put my eggs into lockdown, I added water and the wet paper towels
under the wire floor, it's taking a mighty long time for the temperature
to recover.....


by the way... I finally saw a chick moving inside

Congrats to all of you that are about to have some new chicklets! Do you think the discharge was because he internally pipped? I didn't candle today, for fear of him getting shrink wrapped again. So I don't know.

Humidity control, check.


Repti fogger i had was missing some parts so i improvised

cut the bottom off the cup made a nice stack for the fog

dew bottle makes for a perfect water bottle

completed hack job installed in the ultrabator

......Lmao ok so im a hatching addict.... first set to try out the ultra-bator, beta version

so do eggs hatch during the night sometimes, or are they stimlulated by light
like adult chickens and only hatch in the daytime??

Eggs hatch at all different times of the day. My last hatch of Seramas all pipped late afternoon/ evening and the next morning I woke up to 2 hatched and 2 zipping.

You don't candle during lockdown. If you are on day 32 you shouldn't have been candling for 7 days now.

The hole in the air pocket did you put it there? or did the duck? If he put it there thats good news. If you put it there and liquid is leaking out not so good. No smell is good.
