As long as nothing sharp is exposed you should be fine.

First time hatcher here. We set 11 Lavender/Lavender Mottled/Porcelain Pure English Orpington eggs on Feb 1st. We bought them on eBay. We thought we saw some movement in the air cell on one so that one is sitting upright in an egg carton, and we are tilting instead of turning. We have 9 "bigs", that we bought as chicks, three years ago, and added 7 "littles" last spring. We are candling on Wednesday, fingers crossed!

I'm super nervous about incubating the duck eggs I've ordered. I've read that they are super duper hard to incubate. (Muscovy.) Anyone have any tips other than the master thread about incubating muscovy hatching eggs? I've read that about 10 times now. lol

Eggs in lock down today and I already saw 5 out of 8 rocking already!! This is my first time hatching, does that mean they might be early hatchers? I kept the temp as best I could at 99.5 with the 1602n Hova. Getting the humidity up is a tough one though! I finally got up to 65% with a washcloth and 2 sponges.

Remember, even a pip on day 18 doesn't mean early hatcher, they are only an early hatcher if they hatch on their own early.

I have a brown egg that just hatched I had F4 (feb. 4th) written on it. I gave it the extra day though, and it hatched on it's time, not my excitement.

I hope you have a good healthy hatch!

My BCM/LO egg hatched! maybe a day late, may be on time, if I slipped one more egg in last moment.

I am letting her dry in the incubator, then I will clean it up and put eggs from a diff incubator in the incubator she is in.
