Hello Everyone,
I am at the point of pure excitement. I have 2 eggs in my incubator that are on day 24, and when I went in to candle them this evening I heard a faint peep, and it looks like one of the ducklings has broken through the air sac inside the egg! I am over the moon excited! I've never hatched before, so I just don't know what to expect. I know I need to increase the humidity in the incubator, so I added a bunch of water to the reservoir. Anything else I need to do? It was a last minute decision to incubate the eggs, so I'm not all up to par on my research...and it seems early for internal pip. Is it? These are pekin/runner mix ducks by the way.
I will not sleep tonight, way way way too excited! Can't wait to post some photos of our two new babies!
