I spoke ttoo soon! We have a pip! It's on the wrong side, but I'll take what I can get!

Overcoming late mortality when hatching Peking duck eggs

In duck incubation, the most common challenge is the high number of so-called ‘drowned’ or ‘wet-embryos’. These embryos die during the fourth week of incubation as a result of insufficient water evaporation (= egg weight loss) from the eggs. Finally, fully grown duck embryos suffocate due to an inadequate supply of oxygen.

Not all bleach is created equal.....

First you have to read the label to find the % Sodium Hypochlorite (SH) ...... I just read up on "Clorox" brand products.... They appear to make several concentrations ranging from 2.75% to possibly 8% Sodium Hypochlorite.....

Since we are looking for a 2500 Ppm final concentration of SH, we need to figure the Ppm in the store bought container...

Start with the 6% bleach solution most of us use in cleaning etc.....

6% is 0.06 x 1,000,000 (one million) = 60,000 parts of SH in one million.... or 60,000 PPM SH in "Clorox" ...

To calculate the 2,500 Ppm solution ....

60,000 Ppm / (unknown) = 2,500 Ppm or... (unknown) = 2,500 Ppm / 60,000 Ppm ... UNKNOWN = 24 ......

So we have to dilute our original 6% "Clorox" ... 24 times to get 2,500 Ppm final solution

Since there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint... lets use 1 1/2 pints = 24 ounces...

Add one ounce of "Clorox" to that 1 1/2 pint (24 ounces) to get to our 2500 Ppm Sodium Hypochlorite Sanitizing Solution

This type of stuff can be confusing at best.... I hope this helps..... Dave

Sorry, my brain hasn't gone there in years.

Thats ok, I will visit it later after I clear my head,
I am overloaded with help PM's and am throwing in the towel, I am not up for helping people, or else they are not up for the help.

Either way FAIL, I am taking a long walk

Sounds like those people do too, like me, I'm not watching the incubator channel anymore. I changed the station on chicken TV.

how much is 2500 ppm and how on earth do I make this solution!!!! I even used this link and dont get it!! http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/scol/ccconc.htm

Sodium Hypochlorite is bleach (you probably know that) and ppm means parts per million. 2500 ppm means for every million parts in the solution, 2500 of them are sodium hypochlorite, and the rest are something else (in this case water).

The solution is a 0.25% bleach and water solution. An easy way to make this would be to add 2.5 mL of bleach to 1 L of water.

Hope that helps!
