I did the unthinkable yesterday. Because of the poor quality of eggs I am hatching this go around, I candled again.

I found one good live egg in the "possibles" I had separated and the two red circles of death were definitely dead, so I through them out.

I think I have 26 eggs in incubation. I have to watch my humidity though as my float seems to be plugged on my tray. Time to CRL it.

I have found that a quick fix is to disconnect the tubing and blow through it. It will usually clear the blockage long enough to finish the hatch so that a thorough cleaning can be delayed.

Aww! I'm thinking that I mat have some ducklings in about a month. Ebony (black pied muscovy) is broody on about 8 or 9 eggs. I've never allowed her to hatch so we'll see how she does!

I will give that a try.
