Ralphie did you put my ducks up to externally pipping FOUR days early? It must have been when you said real birds hatch on day 21!

Yes, it's was 99 by the fan, 100 in the middle and about 100 to 101 at the far end but never higher than 101.

Hard telling. What type of ducks? I usually run extremely high hatch rates out of my cabinets and hatchers but I screwed the pooch on a hatch of ducks beginning of December. Have absolutely no idea what went on, what caused it or why. Same cabinet and hatcher just rolled a 92% and nothing changed. Something definately went haywire because I lost over 100 Khakis after lockdown. So, not everybody is perfect even though I'm as close as it gets. LOL
