First time incubating duck eggs. Using the HBlife 9-12.
I ordered some Ancona eggs online and should get them Wednesday. On the seller's site, they note "Ideal temperature is 99.5 F. Humidity 40-60%, range 55 is ideal. You can spray eggs with clean water starting day 10-25, once a day (optional, but helpful). Lockdown at day 25. Do not open. Do not turn. Set temp to 97 F and humidity up to 80%."
The eggs are coming from Florida to a MUCH drier Colorado. Do the temps and humidity look right? Various websites note 55-80% Humidity for lockdown, which is a huge range. Is it 80% because Florida is super humid?
