Do my air cells look okay for day 9? (I did them on day 9 instead of 10 since this is for a Bantam Duck breed BEI which has an earlier hatch day!)

@VWduckchick can you please take a look at these? I had the humidity up for 55% for the first few days until I read your article and read a few other comments from you. Then I lowered the humidity and have been trying to eye-ball it (they're at about 25% humidity right now, I'm in NY so it's pretty humid up here).

Thanks!

They look to be on track, pic 3 might be a bit large of a cell. How long does it take for these to hatch? btw, the tag in your post says VW instead of WV :D

I should have done a better job with my pics! Pic 1 & 2 are the same eggs, front and back (although I messed it up a bit as the eggs are in the reverse order for the pics...whoops!).

Pic 3&4 of are the same egg. :)

This whole time whenever I've read WVduckchick, I kept reading it as VW and thinking it was abbreviated for Volkswagen duck chick :lau
 
@RainbowRabbits I agree, they look pretty good to me. Were these shipped? A bit saddled? Are you running dry now? Its very humid here now too.

They were shipped, yes. I've been following the shipped guide via Pete so my fingers are crossed!!

I am running dry now! Gotta love the humidity of the northeast!! Haha. Thank you so much!! I was worried they were too small but my boyfriend kept telling me they matched the guidelines we found online. :)
 
Good deal, I think you are on track ok. :clap

Can't wait to see the cute little black ducklings. They are friggin adorable.

Yes, WV is for West Virginia, but you are definitely not alone in reading VW. Volkwagen is much more popular and well know than West Virginia is, for sure! :lau

One member used to refer to me as VW/WV (or vice versa?)

I actually noticed that you were from West Virginia but still kept reading your name wrong!! I guess I must have cars on the mind! Haha
