Good luck! I hope you have hatching by morning! Congrats to everyone!

This is my first incubation and I made my bator from plans on BYC. I really did'nt think I would have very good luck but so far this is what I have and it looks promising.

I set 20 eggs on March 12
4 white pekin ducks
16 mixed chickens The duck eggs wont actually hatch until next week but only 3 of them have developed.
Out of the 16 chicks 1 didn't develop, 7 have hatched so far and all of the rest are pipping.
One of the chicks that hatched had something wrong with its legs and I had to put it down but the rest are doing great!

I am not sure what happened to the one but its feet were all curled up and it's legs were stiff as boards. Does anybody know what caused this or can give me any information?

Thanks and good luck to everyone hatching this weekend!
