My duck eggs were sent out today and should be here tomorrow or wednesday. When I put them in the incubator do I lay them on the side, or up and down like in an egg carton? I have seen some sites say down others say up and down, small end down? How do I lay them in the bator?
I'm assuming that U don't have a turner, so mark your eggs (I put an "X" on one side and an "O" on the other) and turn them three times a day until 3 days before hatch date...
I was going to be sarcastic and tell you to hold the duck over the incubator and hug her really hard, but, I guess you can't do that since the eggs are in the mail. lol Here's hoping for a great hatch for you!
if you dont have a truner use a egg carton (bottom half) prop them up against the wall of the bator & when you have to turn them prop them up on the other side, this is alot easer than turning each egg & looseing all your heat, it works, i turn mine morning & nite. pointed end down.
