I have 6 pekin duck eggs coming I bought a LG still air but my humidity is only 43. The water is in there and I have a humidifier in the same room. Temp is at 102.
I have never hatched duck eggs but what you are decribing sounds pretty good. Maybe some duck experts will chime in. Good luck and happy hatching.
i hear ducks like it more humid. hopefully we'll hear from a duck person if the humidity does need to be raised i suggest putting a clean wet sponge in there. it usually helps with the humidity. you might want to lower the temp by a few degrees. if the temp rises a bit from 102 they'll be too hot. i usually run mine at 99.9-100.6 F
I would say you need to raise thu humidity. I am no expert, my only four ducks just hatched yesterday! I had my humidity over 50% up til day 25. The last three days I tried to get it over 80% but could only get it to 76%. I had sponges, a wick that came with my GQF in a big bowl of water but still never over 76%! I have seen some on here that had it 65% up until day 25! Mine did fine!
Im just doing chicken eggs and I keep my humidity between 30-40% then the last 3 days bumping it up to 45-55%. I read people get great hatch rates with these numbers, so I am trying it.. this is my first hatch. My temp is 100-101*. I don't know about ducks, but would there be a huge difference? Im curious now
