So my goose was.broody right.well none of her eggs would be fertile because no gander.well my muscovy started laying and lays her eggs she under the goose well she at nine eggs now and one already has veino and heartbeat bUT what about the others the duck keeps laying.

Well, mine kind of varies a bit. I was mostly 99-100, but when my incubator heats up, it then cools down to 98 before heating back up again.

@BantyChooks When do you think they'll pip?

They hatch on their own timescales. You can't predict it. But, you ran low, so maybe a little late is my guess. Day 27-28?

Here's the time to quote Fire.... "Chicks don't wear watches"

I need some help. So I've have had (due to advice) had the humidity at 30-40% during incubation. Today I filled the actual water resivoirs under the eggs to get to 55% about. But the humidity is at 64% and I am not sure how to get the water out!

Rats. I'm guessing ducklings don't wear watches either?

. Well I hope they hatch by Sunday, or I might not be here. {:-[

Hatching humidity is supposed to be at least 65, Sally says 70....

Okay, I had one person say 55. I'll stick with it I guess.
