Help with lockdown on duck eggs please

[Christian1982]

Hello, my ducks are on day 18 so I just want to make sure I get this right.. they’re currently running on 37.5 Celsius- what temp do I put them on when on lockdown on day 25 please? Thankyou x

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

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

I don’t. I did have 3 wells filled however the air cells were small so I’ve gone back to just one - the diagram is for chickens thou

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

I don't have any experience with this type of incubator, but that's what I would do.
