Hi Banti! 

Mornin Mike!!

Actually, she stops giving you coffee, then feels bad and gives it again. You never noticed.

I did notice. I just figured it was up to you whether or not I got my daily duckling dose or not.

I always enjoy work!... im a face painter!
Came home, and candled remaining eggs, none still alive

I am sorry. I hope next time you have much better results. Talk to @BantyChooks about that.

I candled at day 8 then again at day 18. It's my first attempt... still so much to learn!
I thought they looked fine at both candleings! is that even a word?? anyway. I think the main problem is the incubator, its a generic one i bought off ebay. I think the temp is even because the hatch was so staggered. So i plan to encase it in styrofoam box it came in.. to try to keep it more even..hopefully. Then I think i had the humidity to high through the first 18 days... Dont think i can trust the humidity meter (I know they have a proper name but im tired)

Page one has notes on calibrating the hydrometer and thermometer if you have not found it yet.

Yeah... @SuzieMaree, great job getting as many as you did! Many (including me) have had 0% hatches the first go-round.
It does get easier, don't worry... But it still remains to be seen at what stage you stop having nervous breakdowns at lockdown & hatch.
