Hi!
I have been Incubating duck eggs in my home made incubator for 24 full days now. I'm doing this for my high school senior project, and so I'm very new to it all. I started out with 9 eggs... 6 Pekin and 3 Muscovy's, I had some high temperature problems in the first few days of incubation. But I am left with 5 Eggs (2 pekin 3 muscovy) that seem to be Extremely healthy!! Ive been candling them and they all seem to be on track!
Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day of flipping the 2 pekins, and they are supposed to be put into lockdown with high humidity... But I will be opening the incubator to flip the Muscovy eggs.
How will the pekins do with me opening the Incubator 3 times a day? And how will the Muscovy's do with the high humidity?? What should I do??
Currently I flip them all 3 times a day, spray them each time also... I've been keeping the humidity around 40, and temp 99.5 as much as I can.
I think I'm just super nervous because its so close to hatching, and this is all new for me, but I just want my babies to be happy and healthy!
Thank you so much!
