Hatching Duck Eggs in Classroom

[noodle9405]

Hi! I'm hatching duck eggs in my classroom and I put them in last Wednesday (4/18) morning. The temp has been at 99.5 and the humidity between 50% and 55%. Does that seem right? I'm really nervous because last year none of my chicks hatched! I don't want to mess this up.

Welcme to BYC! Does your incubator have a fan?

Yes, it does have a fan.

I usually run my humidity from 35-40% and temp 99.5. But I have heard that your humidity needs to vary by your location or what works best for you.

I did this when I was in kindergarten, I hope your eggs hatch, and I remember it being a ton of fun!
