I have questions about lockdown on duck eggs!

[AAcres]

Lockdown day is Monday for me for my duck eggs. this is my first hatch! And I’m nervous!

For duck eggs, do I set the temp at 98 degrees?
Then humidity at 65-70%?

Do you change the temp or humidity when they start to pip or hatch?

What do you do when ducklings start to hatch and the temp inside spikes? Do you bring down?

If anyone is able to answer my questions I would reeeaaaally appreciate it! Any tips for me are welcome too!!

I kept my temp at 99.5 and humidity around 65%. They take a long time to hatch so be patient with the process lol

Thank you so much, again! Lol

did your temp or humidity ever spike as more ducklings hatched? What did you do if it did?

Yea it did. The humidity spiked a bit and the temp dipped a little but once the floofsters start fluffing up, everything will regulate. The humidity didn't spike nearly as much as the chicken eggs did because chickens just seem to pip, zip then quick pop out where duck eggs take their sweet time so the moisture leaves at a more consistent pace.
