Out of 12 eggs zero ducklings!
Last candling, three days before hatch date showed 4 live and moving ducklings. One tried to hatch, but died. Today is day 28 and no movement or peeping.
I used Hova 1588 with the fan blowing all the time. Temp was around 99.5 and humidity at stable 70% for the duration.
There is no way to up the humidity in this incubator because of the blowing fan, regardless how much water I put there.
Eggs were on their sides and I turned three times a day religiously.
Should have I used still air incubator?
I have not misted the eggs, as I learned about that only recently.
