I am so excited I finally talked my husband into getting an incubator. I don't know whether it is a good idea or not because i think we will be opening a whole new can of worms . We are already talking about all the new breeds of chicken and duck eggs we want to get. We already have a couple of our call duck eggs waiting for it to arrive....lol and it begins!!!
Good for you - jump right into the fun of hatching....it's facinating watching a flock start from the egg and mature into a hen or roo. What kind did you buy/order? Feel free to ask us all here on the site anything - we LOVE to help!!
We bought a hovabator Genisis 1588 with the egg turner. I have been reading on here about the humidity for duck eggs and have seen some variations in it. Any suggestions on what I should keep the call eggs at.
I just got my first incubator too, and have 9 silkie eggs incubating. 14 days in...and 7more to go!!! I can barely stand it. We got them for my daughters science project. I didn't realize how fun...and addicting it can be.
Your in trouble now. No really, it's a fustrating, nerve wrecking best time you can have. You worry over the eggs check and recheck the temps and humidity. Try to figure out if you did anything wrong. Then they hatch and your over joyed at the wonder of it all. No sooner have you got that bunch doing well then your looking to see what else you can set.
