Incubating Eggs

[londonchristyy]

Hello! I have been incubating my 5 pekin duck eggs for about 6 or 7 days now, and just saw that you are supposed to spray them? I have been keeping them in an incubator at 99.5 degrees fahrenheit and at a humidity of 50-60%. Do i need to spray them? If so, how? Thank you so much!!

I am first time incubator and I didn’t see anywhere saying to spray in my research.
Just wondering where did you get your eggs from?

What are you spraying? Water? I've never done/heard of, it but its probably for humidity control? Your current settings are great for now. You'll want to bump up the humidity at lockdown though.
