EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[jwlpoultry]

They aren't even supposed to hatch til tomorrow right?

28 days will be at 9:09 PM tonight, obviously I don't expect them to hatch right then, but the lack of drawdown is odd...

Well don't fret they should hatch soon enough.

You forget this is my first time hatching ducks.... They're shipped too.... Based off my track record, this batch failing spectacularly would not be at all unusual.

did you ever see this.... composting box? my guess is they would set eggs in there no?

I'd think so.

Like @fire370 says, they don't wear watches

They aren't going to hatch with you watching leave the incubator alone.

Know that; I actually have it written in my hatching notebook. However, you usually have at least some hatch 'on time', (you know what I mean) and if these ducks follow anything remotely close to the usual timelines, they'll be 2-3 days 'late'.

Hopefully ducks are totally different from chooks and they prove me to just be an over-paranoid goose.

I haven't looked at the Bator for three whole minutes. May I look again, Justin?
