Incubating Duck Eggs for the First Time...

[Wifezilla]

Yeah, and if that doesn't work, I am going to see if I can get something under the fan, but the fan housing is so tall. ACK!

I see a new bator model in my future...LOL

 

[UrbanMama]

Wow! Look what happens when you stay off-line for the day

Congrats to all the folks with duckies in the bators...it's nice to have someone to wait with!

Congrats on the pip Beardedchick! And I think another hygrometer will give you a better idea of what's going on in there Wifezilla

So to spray or not to spray...that is the question

 

[BeardedChick]

Oooh Gretchenhau has the pip. I was just cheering.

So are you gonna spray or not? Inquiring minds want to know...

 

[UrbanMama]

Oooops! I should have read closer

Yes, I think I am going to spray. I don't believe it will hurt the babies...and anything that could possible help...I'd definitely do.

My duck egg has been pipped for about 24 hours and has finally just now started zipping.

Oh cool!

for a good hatch.

As for my little bator, I changed the battery in the hygrometer jic...no change. Then I DIRECTLY SPRAYED the sensor. NO CHANGE??? I mean I soaked it.

I need to go to the store.

I got a question...... When you are using a cabinet bator that has 3 shelves, where do you put the temp prob? I just have it hanging down the front bout middle way's. Just want to make sure I do this right. Thanks.
