Oh oh! I also got my webcam set up so I plan to start filming soon! Unfortunately live streaming isn’t an option because I’m on a very slow internet connection (thank you Ontario...) but I plan on making a time lapse video every so often and posting it for you guys! If I can figure out how that is

Day 31, counting the day they went into the bator as day 0. From the reading I did that seemed the preferred day to start lockdown, but I’m doubting everything I’ve read to be honest, I’m sorta freaking out

Come on baby ducks! We're all waiting for you, lol. Just a few more days to go!

I sorta counted on that LOL. But they’ll move with me when I go back to school so he can rest assured they won’t stay forever haha.

@JudysMuscovy do you have any insight on when to stop turning?

Yes stop turning at lock down and up the humidity at first internal pip

Kk will do! I’m slowly upping it already, it’s about 45 right now so I’ll bring it to 60 when I see them pip.

Quick question! Number 5’s aid cell has sort of made a saddle shape and there appears to be a yellow spot right by where the air cell meets the rest of the egg, is that normal?

So I can’t seem to find bacitracin here in Canada. I can find products that have it in them but not just that as ingredient. Any suggestions as to what I could use for moistening the membrane for hatching?

Coconut oil?

Even plain old vaseline(petroleum jelly) would work.
It's the base for all those antiseptic ointments...don't need the 'meds'.
