Duck eggs moving before lockdown, is this normal?

[mustangluvrjen]

I have 5 duck eggs in the bator and all of them will wiggle from time to time. I'm 24hrs away from lockdown. Should I still turn them? Any advice will be great. This is my first hatch. Thanx in advance

No more turning they are getting ready to pip. Go into lockdown right now, they will be early birds.

You're the one w/ the G300 eggs right? Be sure to post pics when they hatch! It will be interesting to see how well the sex-link works. Happy Hatching!

Yes, increase the humidity and let nature take care of the rest. Good luck with your hatch.

I'm struggling getting my humidity up pass 80%. Would bringing a humidifier in my room help? I've got all my trays filled plus styrofoam tray w/ water n sponges. Any suggestions

Stick a papertowel over the side of the incubator into the water. It will wick up the water and increase the humidity. Remember only to add warm water.

Got humidity stable. I sure hope going into lockdown a day early wont cuz any problems but ya'll are more experienced in this than I am. Thank you for putting my mind at ease.

ok so I'll still be bitting my nails til they all hatch
