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

[The Duck Ladie]

How does this sound,
Crazy days I'll turn 6 am 2pm 10pm (ever 8 hours)
Normal days I'll turn 6 am 10 am 2pm 6pm and 10pm

Hey now!! I don't even do hour by hour incubation time charts anymore....
I do 8, 12, and 8 or 8, 12, 4, 8, and before I hit the sack. So equal amounts of time between turning. Obviously, an hour or two doesn't matter... I'm just saying if you turn every 10 minutes 5 times in the morning and them leave them still for the rest of the day that ain't gonna cut it.

I never have done time charts or any other charts...too much of a lazy slob..



Ok, I misunderstood you, now that you have explained it better we are in agreement.....

OK guys, so you said:8 AM, Then 5 PM, then 11 PM and then you said, 6 AM, 2 PM and then 10 PM.I would be able to do four times A day if I hatch, And it's old be chickens, our talking about ducks, I'm not sure if is any different.So, what time Frame on them would be best?6 AM, 2PM, 10 PM or 8 AM, 5 PM 11 PM?Or differnt?Im confused.XD sorry, I just confused easily.

I THINK soaking in saltwater and then drying, but I didn't look into it in detail yet... I'm not sure how much of a difference it'd make.

Not four, only odd numbered times....

Either is fine. Just try to space them as evenly as possible.

I think Banti and I agree.. just turn them an odd number of turns and try to keep it a few hours between turns, it should work out.
