What a great amount of work and information, thank you! Would this be applicable to ducks? I noticed you were doing dry incubation but I live in an extremely dry area, our max humidity on a normal day is about 7%. We are on our 89th day of no precipitation at all so the air is bone dry. What the humidity be for a non-dry hatch?

50% for your humidity then on lockdown go to 80% ish Good Luck!!

Thank you CottageRose - you're so kind

Hi WriterofWords

Yes applicable to all species and breeds including waterfowl but again weight the egg and adjust humidity to achieve 15% total weight loss during incubation. I agree with Nicky and would aim for 45-50% until external pipping. Thank you for your compliment

Excuse my immaturity, I am just over exuberant that this incubation info will be spread to others.
