I'm on day 27 with duck eggs, which is I think the same as day 20 with chicks. I'm stressed and anxious.
I have lost most of my hatch, and am scared that none of them are going to make it. My temps have been all over the place, and my humidity has been way off. I also haven't left them alone as much as I should have. I candled too much, I should have got an auto turner, I should have tested my hygrometer. shoulda, coulda, woulda....
I wish I was looking forward to the next couple of days with excited anticipation, but I just have a twist in my tummy.
lol, I just reread what I wrote and I sound pretty whiny. It's a lot better if you read it in Eeyore's voice. "Poor ducks, probly all dead, probly all my fault."
Congrats Lanissa!
I'm going to stop being such an eeyore, and go think good and hatchy thoughts to my eggs, and whistle and promise them lettuces.
I hope everyone in this thread is going to be posting pictures!

"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it is a good morning, which I doubt," said he.
