Hi all, please advice on the right thing to do .
We have bantam duck eggs in an incubator... both me and hubby are panicking and having disagreements on what to do.
The eggs have started rocking on day 21 we are assuming silver bantam ducks may hatch early as they are similar to call ducks (we cant find anything on the internet to confirm this)
Because they have started rocking should we lockdown early as with call ducks?
Also and this is the thing causing our disagreements hubby has read that the temperature needs to go down slightly during lockdown but I cant find anything to confirm this ... we know the humidity needs to be raised but I am unsure about dropping the temperature? There is loads of information on humidity during lockdown but nothing on tempture
Please can sombody advice?
My gut is telling me to keep at around 37.5 but dont want to get it wrong and would hate to be the cause of these little ducklings not making it out the shell
