NO and I should have,,,, they only looked saddle shaped around day 10   I know better but i figured they would be ok.....   those two are hard and dead  I should have let the wrong ender alone and kept it closed....  the other three are almost through pipping wonder why it is taking duckies so long? they look a little dry but they ok I think.... I am misting the other end of the bator now, hopefully they can all do it on their own.  So we are down to 3 duckies

Last time I incubated ducks, I had 3 eggs, 2 developed, 1 made it to lockdown and tried to hatch.... Except it was at the wrong end of the shell and I panicked and tried to assist it and cause of that I had to watch my lil duckling die in my hands and not be able to do anything about it I still feel so bad about that.... So be happy that you got those successful hatches!! They sure are messy though! :b

Do you use a temperature regulator?

I have not. But I imagine that would be better then making and closing holes. Maybe in the future, I have just been working with what I got

lol I just decided to poke more holes in the side. It works really good at regulating the temperature, but not so much for humidity. There's my next problem. Humidity.

Have you tried increasing the surface area of the water?

The whole bottom of the incubator is practically water.
