Hatching Eggs - Journal

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

Thank you for the reassurance! It seemed so random but I suppose they can pass away any time for whatever reason

It appears 2 more eggs have passed. They look very yellow instead of the vibrant orange/red. And I didn’t see any movement inside. I will give all 3 until probably tomorrow and then remove them

Hang in there!

Hang in there!

Doing my best! I hope the last 2 eggs hang in there too

Not to scare you, but I tried a dry incubation (humidity 30-40%)with my last batch and I lost 50% of the eggs in the first 2 weeks. I know dry incubation works great for many people, but for whatever reason it doesn’t seem to work for me

I hope the rest of your eggs survive

I initially planned to do the normal recommended humidity but what I could find specifically for call duck eggs said 30-40%… maybe that was a mistake too late now I suppose

Thankyou!!

Took the dead eggs out! The remaining two seems to be doing really well, but I’m not getting my hopes up

3 & 4, the remaining eggs. Still seem to be doing good! I moved them to the outside ring once the others passed. I did have the remaining 6 on the inner ring but that’s when they started passing. So I moved my temp reader to the direct middle and it read about a degree lower than closer to the outside. Not sure if that was the issue but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to move them.

Is that a Brinsea?

Is that a Brinsea?

No, It’s one I got from Amazon! Incubator

I wanted to get one from TSC but they were out of stock so Amazon was my next quickest option.
