Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

[Miss Lydia]

WHERE IS EVERYONE?! lol
You guys had been doing such a good job of keeping me company!

Probably putting their flocks away for the night, I just got through doing that.

Mybflock is still in the house. I just turned on their evening light. So they can see their food when the sun foes down and the window no longer provides sun light.

Yep - That's what I was doing!

So you've cracked open 12 by now? I REALLY wanna see what's going on in there.

I just did it. I think he is shrinkwrapped. But I am not good at telling yet. I took a photo, and will post it later today. I still hear nothing and see nothing in 13, 14 and 15... I swear, if I ever do this again, it's going to be in a different incubator.

How are those kits, Lydia, the chicks, Subhanalah, and the incubating eggs, Kathy?

 

[subhanalah]

My kits and chicks are great! Well haven't checked on the kits, trying to let mom do what she needs to without stressing her out. This is her first litter and she and one rathernwell, considering. Most first time moms don't even kindle in the box, so she's above average so far!

If he is shrinkwrapped, then your bator is flexuating with the settings. GRR. Because 11 was sticky and now 12 possibly shrinkwrapped. Did 12 ever internally pipped.

If 12 is shrinkwrapped we need to go ahead and raise that humidity back up but I would only raise it about 5 degrees. I would monitor it for about a couple of hours and keep track of the temp and humidity to see how often and how high all the readings change within the 2 hour time frame..

Use your ducks after this... honestly it is so much easier.

Just watched my duck trying to eat a frog while being chased by half the flock,

she finally did it. poor froggy.

Ah! I wish Zippy would have set on them (set? or sat?). The other issue here is we only have 1/2 acre, so we don't want dozens of ducks or chickens. We have to keep our flocks smallish. I wish we had more land - I would love to have more!

Boy I understand about room, we have 5.5 acres but it's mostly billy goat land since were in the mountains, and way too expensive for us to fence, so we have 1/2 acres fenced and are at our limit on ducks/geese and chickens, So no babies at all for us this year and I already have a broody duck sitting on nothing,

you'll eventually get those broody's AQ, I hate to have to take their eggs but They just want to take over the world and I can't let them here. Will you be able to keep the ones that will and have hatched ?
