Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

[Miss Lydia]

Got an incubator full of ducklings now, though one has a *very* swollen belly. Quite worried about it.

Ignore the settings, 'cause RH in my house is only 10%, so humidity drops very fast when I open the RCOM.

Quote: He's alive, but his belly is huge, like twice the size of the others. Lost a couple like this a couple of years ago. I suspect it's a yolk sac infection.

Quote: I have not seen it poop yet. Gonna work on getting it hydrated today to see if it will produce something.
