Help with lockdown on duck eggs please

[BelovedBirds]

Would this work?

Ideally you want two, one hygrometer and one thermometer- I find reptile ones work fairly well, aquarium thermometers are also supposed to be fairly reliable
You'll have to calibrate them once they arrive

Keeping it at 37.5C will be fine. Just make sure to bump the humidity up to 60-70%.

Let me know if possible please

It looks like the instructions say to fill all three wells for lockdown. Do you have a separate hygrometer?

If I fill it up in say 2 or 3 on lockdown will that work?

3 Wells for lockdown, not before.
On lockdown fill all three.

You really need a hygrometer. This incubator isn't duck egg specific and different eggs require different humidities.
Is your thermometer calibrated or are you trusting the incubator?
You really ought to get a calibrated thermometer and hygrometer ASAP.

I’m Going with the incubator all 5 eggs seem ok thou they all alive a rice and now have growing air cells.
