Kiki's found horse eggs—experiment Round 2

[Kiki]

I kept it at 60 until external pip and then moved to 70 to occassionally 75

When I see these numbers I do this: and then: .
That sounds just way too high to me.

I seem to run into articles with wildly different humidity amounts...

I don't know about ducks at all are they hatched the same way as chickens? As far as temps and stuff

The two duck eggs in the incubator right now have probably internally piped but not externally piped. Should I open the lid and get the humidity down? Also, down to what at this point? I had a chick shrink wrap last fall on my first attempt and that freaked me out.

who would know this for sure?

I wish you the best, Kiki! May the odds be ever in your favor.

I thiught she'd get this one after she got the wrecking ball comment...

Now I think it is too high and that is why the one could not turn to unzip on his own. I would bet it is too late to lower the humidity for it to do any good as they would have already grown larger and making it hard to unzip. I may have to assist again...maybe this time I can do it but make sure its yolk is aborbed before it can kick out... ugggghhhhh

I believe it.
I too have read so many different levels.
What I did was look for posts by people who live in my area to see what numbers they ran in their bators.

Only way to do it is to do it. What happens happens only way you gonna learn. Some stuff works some don't it is what it is

I'm not a real hatcher...so I don't know for sure yet.
From what I read changing humidity levels at the end won't make a difference.
What matters is the humidity levels through out the entire incubations.

I don't know what to tell you to do, I am sorry.
