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

[BullChick]

Hey you guys! 
Got a quick question - is hatching duck eggs alot different than hatching chicken eggs? I know they have to be sprayed every once in a while er somethin' like that, but, other than that, I'm all in the dark - which is kind of embarrassing, but there's no time like the present to learn! I'm going to go through some of the articles, also, but I wasn't sure if they covered this or not .... they probably do, so if so, sorry!   

I never spray. I keep humidity around 35-45%.

....

lots to find on pg 1 of this thread!

Anything specific let us know!!

Boy, have I figured that out!

I looked through it when I was hatching last year, but I didn't realize at the time how much work has been put into all this!

Thank you! I will try my best to pepper everyone with as many questions as come to mind.

DuckGirl! Long time no see!

Sherlock says hi and wants you to now he's a daddy (They hatched on april 18) (Sady I had to sell them)

Hey you! Tell Sherlock I said hi and congrats!

Out of curiosity, have you noticed a difference in hatch rates or is it just easier?

Good evening. all!

Ended up with severe weather here all day, so my daughter's school was closed and I was off work. As a result, I'll be setting eggs tomorrow now.

A little calm before the storm ... aka turtle watching

Howdy. What's the problem? Flooding? Tornado? Lack of interest?

No recap, need to read back! The snowball effect on this thread is worse than chicken math.

I hope there Au natural, but you know I got the...I get. 99% hatch rate under Booders and someone else incubated at 70%.

Hey Banti!

I decided I wasn't quite too busy to be on this thread after all - at least for now. It's addicting.

Good to hear, you were quite missed in your absence.

Ain't it? BYC is prob'ly the worst thing to happen to my productivity that didn't involve me being in the ICU.
