Hi all, I have a problem and need some advice. I had a Call Duck go broody and she was sitting on a few eggs. Well she decided she doesn't want to sit on her eggs anymore, and I was not prepared. I candled the eggs and one is about 8 days old and the other is about 19 days old(I'm assuming that another one of my females laid an egg in her nest which explains the difference in age) the rest of the eggs were either infertile or dead. I have the eggs in a manna pro incubator at 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit and a humidity of 58, but Im not sure how to handle the difference in age when lockdown starts for the older duckling. I've done a lot of research, but I need advice/guidance on how to do this. I raise ducks but usually the mother hatches them out for me so I've never needed an incubator. I just don't want to hurt or kill the younger duckling when the older one goes into lockdown. Please help.
