Don't have to worry if tomorrow's going to be the day your psycho neighbours shoot you....

Heck we usually leave the doors unlocked.

Holding temp at 99.5 f, I turn them three times a day.

When is lock down for ducks?
Is turning them three times a day goog enough?
Has any one hatched out anacona ducks before?

Temp sounds good, as long as you're sure the thermometer's correct, as verified by calibration. There's an extensive section at the very beginning of this thread that deals with incubation conditions and suggestions. It's long, but well worth the effort.
BTW,

and our thread; glad you found us.

I lock just cause I don't want someone, have to be friends or family or the dog would eat them, to rummage through our house when we ain't home. And if something comes up missing, tools or such I know I lost or missplaced, don't have to wonder which BIL borrowed and never returned without my knowing...
Most don't lock though. Buddy of mine, old guy, only locks when he's home on a rare occasion when he is not drinking beer and wants to be left alone Lol!

Truth there. I was surprised my brother doesn't lock, lives in my old place pre-DW and kids days, private rd in the woods no house close enough to hear. Said if someone wants to rob him, would rather not have to pay for a new window or door.
