Hi,
My name is Ming and it's my first time trying to incubate some duck eggs.
However, my stupid brain turned 70-83% humidity for the lockdown and set it for the start of the incubation.
I did this for 2 days, and now I have changed it to 50-60%. Have I just ruined the success of the hatch or can I do something to help the eggs?

Thanks for any help.
Currently kicking myself for only realizing now.

Best would be to find a duck egg hatching guide that shows how big the air cell is supposed to be at various stages...

Then compare your air cell size with the chart....

And fiddle with the humidity ...

If your air cells are much smaller than the chart.... then decrease the humidity a bit more, and check again after a few days...
