*graphic* Day 46 and ducklings still not developed?

[CluckNDoodle]

I’m 100% sure it’s 47 days, I have an incubation calendar I count down on! Never thought anything would happen, but I kept them on there just Incase. Glad I did.

Well, that's one for the books for sure! Keep us updated!

@Silkiechicken66, what incubator are you using?

I have three of this kind. Every batch(except the dozen I got shipped once) has had 100% hatch rate on the day its suppose to hatch. Only had one early baby, but that’s it.

Will do! I just put the baby under a broody duck and let’s see how that goes. Another egg has pipped, it’s the wrong end but doing well nonetheless.

Are you using an extra temp/humidity sensor?

Do you have calibrated instruments in your incubator?
You mentioned you've been keeping the temperature and humidity at the right levels What exact levels have you been keeping them at?

Amazing! Talk about beating the odds! A lesson in never to give up as long as there's life. Pretty little ducklings!

You better watch that broody close or you may have another dead duckling. I have had Broody’s that love to brood but won’t accept a hatching even if it’s their own that just hatched. Let alone one she didn’t.

I have it at 37.5c and 55% humidity. I’ve got the incubator which tells temp, and another thing that tells humidity which I’ve added. I’ve also got a thing that reads humidity and temp that I put in to make sure everything’s the same.

But did you calibrate these extras? The built in thermometer is known for being wrong, you can not trust it.
