I wish there was an easier way to add water to the octagon 20. Are you leaving yours in there to hatch- it doesn't look like there is enough room for them to hatch out.
Good Luck with your duckies!
The 4 eggs that are in lockdown are in their own Octagon 20 (I have a pair of them now!) - I moved the Welsh Harlequin eggs in with the Cochin eggs temporarily while these guys hatch.
So, right now I have:
- 4 mutt eggs in lockdown in incubator #1
- 8 Bantam Cochin eggs and 4 Welsh Harlequin eggs in incubator #2
And my next batch of 8+ Cochin eggs should arrive tomorrow morning! There's still
plenty of space in incubator #2, and the current batch of Cochin eggs will be moving to incubator #1 as soon as the mutt ducklings are done hatching and I get it all cleaned out and ready for the next hatch!
Oh boy - now my head hurts!
Edited to add: Adding water to the 'bator is a pain, but I've found that the humidity bounces right back to where it's supposed to be 5-10 minutes after closing it back up - that's one of the reasons I like the relatively small size of the Octagon 20.
Edited again to add: I had to go grab something out of the bedroom a few minutes ago, and when I walked in a duckling peeped at me! No external pips yet, but it's still early (I'm surprised, because my temps have been right on) and I'm not expecting any ducklings until tomorrow at the earliest.
