Mallard Duck Eggs

[Ravynscroft]

I had drop temp this morn and stop turning them, I am thinking this week coming they should hatch

Are you talking about the slight lowering of temp some do for hatching? That's a personal choice, some do some don't... personally, I never drop my temp for hatching, I just leave it the same...

I also leave the temp alone the entire time.

What day did you start the eggs? If the air cells look good, anywhere from 60-70% humidity should work until hatch. 97.8 temp is low though. Do you have independent meters, other than the unit? LG's are known to be off. Not trying to scare you, just saying ones verified for accuracy are advisable. If your incubator has a fan, 99-100 is the recommended temp. Without a fan, you can run 101-102. Temp taken at the top of the eggs.

Good luck, please keep us posted!

Thanks so much, candle eggs again today, just to make sure, we are alive and well, didn't know that LG was such a nightmare....these were orphan eggs and I rescue them... don't know how many days old, but I am guessing anywhere between 22-24 days....what should I expect in the next couple of days, I am a newbie and need all the Help I can get...researching can be so confusing.....
