Is this right?

[tia]

I keep on reading different things and I hope I'm doing this right. I am incubating duck and chicken eggs in a R-Com Suro.

The duck eggs are temp. 99.5 humidity 55

Chicken eggs 99.5 humidity 45

Is this right? I sure hope so.

I don't know anything about ducks but you have chickens right: 99.5 on the nose. Humidity can vary a little. But between 35 and 45 is good for the first 18 days.

That is really all I need to know... I've done ducks before. It is really the chickens that I haven't done. I candled and all of my eggs are fertilized... so if I don't goof it up I should have some nice little chicks. My drake didn't get all of the eggs fertilized, so i am going to have to pull some of those. I have 5 hens, so maybe that is a few too many for him. : ) thanks so much!!!

5 ducks are not too many for most drakes.. there are other things that can cause infertility.. the first eggs laid in the season are often infertile.. early spring/late winter eggs tend to be infertile more often ..

I treat my duck eggs just like chickens'.. at hatch time I have 60% humidity for both.. higher is ok, but not necessary..
