@WVduckchick any ideas why this duckling didn't make it when it had started hatching?

I am so sorry

I hope I figure out the cause, I can't really tell what the humidity is the thing broke and I don't know what the humidity really us I have something but it's really wishy washy so I don't fully trust that.

Looks like it maybe missed the air cell? Possibly drowned. Looks like it was still 2-3 days before it was going to hatch, with that amount of yolk left to absorb.
So sorry for your loss Jellybean

You don't know the humidity in your bator? you'll have to fix that before you start again.

I quickly scrolled back through the thread. First, I would bet that the temperature was too low. The development looks delayed to me, normally this is caused by too low temps. Also the air cells still looked pretty small, indicating humidity likely too high throughout incubation.

Please don't be discouraged.... Try again! But please test your equipment with meters verified for accuracy.

Pick up a couple thermometer/hygrometer combos at Walmart or the like, bring them home, and google how to test them for accuracy. Ones at the pet stores are nice too, but can be more expensive. Aquarium, or reptile ones are usually the most accurate, but cheap ones are ok, as long as you know how far off they are, and adjust accordingly.

May Jellybean the blue Swedish duck rest peacefully.
