Duck eggs soon to hatch?

[Jpat]

No but i drank a pot of coffee and stayed up all night a few times!

Haha! I don't know if I could do that! I guess if it was enough coffee

I wonder how @Laurenfinn6 's ducklings are doing? Hoping for a good update soon. They can't have much longer

Hahahahaha luckily I set up the incubator next to a bed! I check on them constantly. I keep checking on them. No external pipping still but Tonight I chirped to them and they chirped back it was awesome! I’m grabbing some of the food for when they hatch now. Anyone have anything else they recommend to have on hand for them when they hatch?

Some nutridrench and sav-a-chick electrolytes.

Is it true to bump up humidity during hatch?

How high is it right now? Yes that's true. It helps the chicks or ducklings not get shrink wrapped and dry out. It should be 65-75 percent.

It was at 60 so I bumped it up. Thank you! Thinking I should candle them again.

As long as there are no external pips, go ahead. Post updates!

if your going to a feed store get B vitamins too

No matter how many birds i hatch its so surreal to me that theres living things inside those eggs!

Ooh and as far as brands just get what they have they wont have many choices, if there isnt duck starter get chick starter, if none of that get Game bird starter. But theyll have duck starter
