INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[chicken hawk 33]

This is my very first time hatching ducks EVER so i am really freaked out

Plus it is 10 at night
I heard you have to sprits it with water every hour and i really dont think i can wake up every hour
Is there anything i can do?

This egg is in TOP care
But i do need sleep

I have a glass of water near the egg so the moisture will evaporate

And i have the cage prepared for when it hatches so if it hatches when im asleep it will be ok

I am juat worried about humidity
Any tips?

add sponges.u don't have to spray it every hour.I hatched a goose egg a week ago.and have two more hatching anytime now.there peeping and rocking.

The 1st thing you do is explain right out of the chute exactly what you're talking about.
(why does that sound so familiar...dejavu all over again)

I did check again

You sure did...half an hour earlier

The older GFF CL lines laid tons of huge blue eggs. The Rees ones (Gff only have Rees available now) Laid smaller, greener eggs, hens are late starting and were poorer layers. Maybe it is inbreeding.

If I were making sapphires I would try to source some of the original lines.

Interesting I'll have to ask my friend when he got his line. They were large eggs

CoChix, I didn't take it that you were offended this morning. I would have apologized myself had I realized that you were offended . Please feel free to private message me and I will explain my personal feelings.

Huh? I know I am way behind, but just saw this. Was this regarding the " you hate all Broncos fans" comment?

that is very nice of you. You could go with Daxi or Dax as that was the horse I owned. She was gaited so Dax I Gait daxigait was born in the early years of needing a name online. It is very cute.

Ahhh gotcha!! I'll prob call it both! Hoping it's a pullet

And thank you!

I have read the glossaries and tried to find the definition of some terms but I can't... Would someone explain the terms draw down and other terms noted in discussions about the air cell?
Is there somewhere I should look for this info?

The majority of them are defined in the notes at the beginning of the thread
