Hatching Eggs - Journal

Day 10 for the four Call eggs and Day 11 for our egg! Everyone seems to be doing good still. I noticed right now while spraying them that all of their numbers I wrote on them are in consecutive order! Thought that was neat since I had 9 eggs in there total to start with. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

They really are! I love watching them move around in their shell, it’s fascinating haha. Sooo close but not close enough

Update: Day 13 for Call eggs and Day 14 for my egg!

Unfortunately I think #7 (Call egg) has passed away. It’s not looking too good. I’m going to give it the benefit of the doubt and leave it in there until tomorrow night when I do their evening mist.
It does make me a little concerned that I’m doing something wrong. I’ve had the humidity in the 30s to low 40s (which I’ve seen is what’s best for Call Ducks) somewhat consistent. Sometimes it’s a little higher after they get sprayed, sometimes a little lower. The temp has consistently been in the 99s, very low 100s but I lower it when I notice it that high

How often are they being turned? For the other 4 eggs you removed, did they develop at all? If not, they could’ve just been infertile. Your temp and humidity sound good.

My incubator auto turns them every 2 hours. The other 4 never developed! They were in shipping for 6 days unfortunately. So I’m sure that didn’t help them

I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong, then. 4 / 5 alive is great.
