Editing to say that while I hope to find her, there are 18 chicks in there, and at least 8 look like pullets.

We must have been posting at the same time last night I am sorry how did your chick make out. you had low temps during incubation did you calibrate? also you know humidity is not a set number just a tool for correct weight loss?
Step by Step Guide to ASSISTED Hatching


Oh no on the calibrations and extra thermohygros! glad you caught this and ordered! Its so important! keep temps higher, dont ever run below 99.5 I actually incubate at a 100.5-101 I have found that the worst hatches are ones that dipped below 99.5 so keep it up over 99.5 but not over 101 is what I aim for. Most of us start low humidity 25-35% and then adjust as needed, you would be better not setting eggs stagger esp duck eggs where weight loss can get difficult. Some say they incubate better horizontal, I hatched fine both ways though. So as far as air cells and humidity with stagger hatches I am not sure what to tell you! you put yerself in a predicament for sure! because u cant adjust for the eggs because of the other eggs! unless you pull the ones for lockdown early in an attempt to correct air cells, and it is bad to try to correct close to lockdown.

I do lower temps at lockdown sweets its in the article and our notes. You are not rude, you ran 25% duration? you didnt adjust it as needed? never run at one set number, its all about the air cells and what they need.
LOWERING TEMPS lockdown IS NOT NECESSARY but said to AIDTHE HATCHING PROCESS post #2898

Well I hope she shows up no worse for wear.

Can ya take a chit and wind your watch at the same time or is that to much to ask for? None of my things match. Actually thats not true they all have pretty much the same paint scheme. Why would you take apart whats already done?
