Awesome news! Amazing how some quit for no reason, then some make it thru the toughest situations. "Survival of the Fittest" at its finest huh. How many more are you waiting on?

It's okay... According to most of what I've read on BYC, Muscovy eggs can be hard to hatch. The 28 day quackers did fine in the Janoel, and so do chicken eggs, so I imagine I need to fine tune my incubating skills with the Muscovies.

FWIW, when "lockdown" comes, I'm going to fill the entire bottom of the Janoel with water. That seems to be the only way I can get the humidy to 70% or more.

Ok I've used seperate thermometer and humidity gauge it was 20% off with humidity it 2 janoel 48
