Hi there, I am new to incubating duck eggs (I did it once before and was able to hatch three beautiful runner ducks) this is my second time doing it. I bought runner duck eggs from a farm (they told me the eggs were sitting out for a week in room temperature and told me to incubate right away). I got home and incubated them right away (37.5C for temp and humidity at 55%). I am worried that the fertility rate of the eggs has decreased significantly since they were sitting out without the incubator for a week from being laid. Also, the first night they were incubated the humidity dropped to 35% in the middle of the night for about 2.5 hours (my incubator beeped and beeped but i didnt wake up until afterwards). What are everyones thoughts? I fixed the humidity back to increase to 55% INSTANTLY after i noticed it was dropped. Any help would be appreciated.
