I didn’t realize different breeds need different temps. I would say 90 and drop down by one every day

I’m more worried about the humidity I don’t want them to shrink wrap.

Shrink wrap? Is that a thing

Yes it is it makes poor little ducklings and chicks go and play with the rainbow bridge.

Oh my. It sounds delightful but also deathly at the same time

It's what happens when the humidity drops too much during pipping. It causes the membrane to tightly wrap the chick up causing it to eventually die.

Yes it’s what I would very much like to avoid so if anyone could tell me the correct humidity for hatching Muscovy eggs I would be very much appreciated

Oh okay. I haven't hatched before mainly cause I'm too sacred to

Any one know what the perfect humidity and temp are for a successful hatch of Muscovy eggs please… mine are due to hatch in a little under 2 weeks and it’s my 1st time… been told a few different ones and not sure what’s right as they are so different.

Keep the temperature steady at 99.5F. The humidity should be 45-50% before lockdown and 65%-72% on lockdown.

How did you become so smart
