Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

[AnimalQuackers]

I'm thinking TO HIGH, Egg 11 Was to sticky, now you have 12-15 not moving. Is it possible that The First incubator is having a humidity issue and NOT the Lockdown ONE??

I don't think so - I really don't. It is SO DRY here because it has been cold, and I only had one sponge in the non-lockdown. I only have one hygrometer I trust, and it has been in lockdown most of the time. But I checked the humidity in non-lockdown yesterday and it was only 36%, so I can't imagine it is too wet in there.

One should use distilled water, not tap water.

Doesn't sound like it. Grrr. not at 36%

are you going to wait one more day on Egg 12?

I wonder if Egg 12 Shrinkwrapped instead of Sticky..

 

[Lacrystol]

Just out of couriosity what kind of Incubators do you have?

 

[Lacrystol]

Number 11 When you opened him up, did you wet his membrane at all?

I'm going back to see if I missed anything on him

 

[Lacrystol]

I believe I have missed something that I didn't see earlier when I looked at 11 but before I show you what, I need to know if Egg 11 Was wetted down or not..

We have kits here. 4 DOA's so far. Mom is in the nest box so can't count the survivors.

So do we, but well water has minerals, which can build up in your incubator. My incubator says to use distilled water. It's cheap, so why not?
