Corbdee's March 2021 Duckling Hatch-A-Long!

[Corbdee]

Tomorrow I start spraying and cooling the first set

@DucksAreBest I think you deleted your post but you spray & cool duck eggs (also called misting) on days 10-25 of incubation. It’s optional, but it does help keep humidity up and the air cells the right size

Ok, thanks. I always did the cooling but not the misting.

do you cool them to a certain temp or just leave the lid off for a certain amount of time?

I just leave the incubator open for ten minutes.

I sometimes do one, sometimes do the other. I think this time I’ll be taking the eggs out so that the incubator can stay warm, but other times I like to leave the incubator open so that once I shut the bator back, the incubator can slowly warm back up at the same speed of the eggs. I let the eggs sit to a temp of about 80-85°F when taking the eggs out to sit.

Corb, if you win that other set, they’ll probably hatch around the same time mine come!

Aw it would’ve been awesome but the auction ended on Tuesday and it was too high of a price.
