Thanks ladies, I was surprised to have this little one I saw the pip when I was getting ready to clean the incubator. I hope it makes it. I forgot to mention I gave it some electrolyte water

Thanks! One of my incubators has the metal screen floor and one had plastic, so I want to get a liner in them! I am also the one incubating at high altitude so I am fighting to keep humidity up and adding water a lot:/ 50-55% and so far seems to be going better than last year! Air cells not looking too big and can see veins! Going to candle in 3 days and will post my air cells for day 10 for help!![]()

So following my last cpl messy hatches w/ my new cabinet bator (one set dried out and one super wet way more than usual DIS and even deformed) I called the manufacturer to trouble shoot. I'm a total ding ding even tho it wasn't anywhere in the info/directions the vents on the back weren't open and it was too close to the wall. So I resolved these issues so I thought only to have a horrible hatch AGAIN! Granted the shipping wasn't the best (po not packing) but still I lost 14 before lockdown either blood ring no development or early deaths before day 14. Now w/ 12 in lockdown 4 hatched perfect no issues. The restUGG I ended up getting 3 more out w/ some assistance one seriously has no eye and a scissor/funky beak. Another I had opened had only the bottom beak the top was MIA so weird. They were in the bator maybe 5-7 days when I resolved the ventilation issues temp around 100 auto turn humidity 20-40 depending on when I add water that's not as stable as I would like it seems harder to regulate in the wood than it is in the plastic bators... I'm just super frustrated/venting I was hoping someone might have some idea suggestions I will try whatever I have Araucana eggs in as I thought I had fixed the issue grrrr these are for my breeding program
I will try ANYTHING!!! Thank you as always for everyone's consistent help and patience glad I missed the drama. I have helped so many of my own chicks as well as other ppl with the help from ppl on here. And @ Pyxis can you please bring one duck in diapers to chickenstock![]()

Well five out of 6 are out. Four out of the six are blues with beautiful dark skin. The last egg I don't expect to see hatch until early morning as it pipped way later than the others. But I can tell from the yellow fluff sticking out it's not a blue...lol I think I'm going to end up keeping this batch. I'll get fluffy pics tomorrow hopefully.
Been a long night but the duckling is still alive. At one point it was cheeping so loud like it was in pain so I got it out and it was rock hard from the sticky stuff drying out so I put some warm water on it and it started wriggling again. If I didn't do that I don't think it'll be alive right now!
