Thanks banty. I was afraid I couldn't type fast enough to help. I know how upsetting it can be to be in a situation like this. Seems like no one answers for half an hour when it's really only been 2 minutes.Yes, don't let it get above 102.
Wait a while longer. Is it making a yawning motion with its bill? Ducks take much longer than chickens, so as long as it can breathe, it's best to just sit on your hands.
Your humidity should be fine then.
Ok thank you guys so much, I was really worried and this took a load off
You're doing fine. They have a better chance of survival if they can hatch themselves. I'm no expert by far so if banty tells you different than I , go with what she says. Try to keep the temp close to 100 and as long as there's not a lot of condensation building up I think your humidity will bee good. Duck take forever it seems like lol
No. sounds like everything is good. Has the temp dropped any?
Nope. Just relax & drink more coffee.... Ducks take a while. Be careful not to rush into assists, it's easy to help too soon and kill them.
This is still the hardest thing for me to do lol. I just do others things and check back every 30 minutes or so.
Ok lol thank you so much
I have been sitting by the incubator watching them nonstop for hours now, totally relatable
