I'm not sure of the exact due date for this egg. I thought I logged it in but went to go check and I did not. Any suggestions on it would be greatly appreciated. I've taken a few pictures while candling. Is the little thing on the right track? Pipping or not pipping? Assistance needed? Any suggestions/advice please 🙏


●Incubation temp: 99.5 °f - 100.0°f

(Kept fluctuation due to the egg turner)



●Humidity: 60%-70%

(This is my concern due excessive moisture causing the duckling to drown. Still in the process of getting those numbers down somewhere in between 35%-50%)



•What should I do if excessive moisture is a problem here?



●Movement is present. Appears to look like the little thing is biting towards the air sac.



●Veins are still present

The egg does not look ready to hatch at all; definitely not pipping. I would guess it's somewhere around day 16-18. It looks healthy, so just get the humidity down (I do 50-55% with daily misting) and wait it out :).
