For a still air incubator, the temp is best at 101-102 F. Turn them at least three times a day. You can do more than three, just try to turn an odd number of times so that the eggs don't stay on the same side every night. Be sure to keep at least one or two accurate thermometers in there.

Spraying is not necessary. I know some people do it, but I've never done it so don't have much to say there.

Humidity is best at about 35% until lockdown. It won't kill them to get higher or lower than that as long as the air cells are looking good. At lockdown, get it up to at least 50%. I like 65%.

Also, what breed of duck is this?

Hope it goes well! Be sure to post pictures when they hatch.

Thanks for tagging me, but I don't really know. I have mostly gotten rescue ducks.
I know someone knowledgeable in incubating will assist you soon. Good luck!

Thank you for your help! Today I sprayed them when I turned them, do I need to turn them during the night? I have a thermometer in the incubator that says it is 97, I will turn the temperature up a little bit. What does a good air cell look like?
