Misting eggs?

[DUCKGIRL89]

How old do your eggs need to be to mist them, and when do you stop? Oh duck eggs by the way.

Ducks are pretty straight forward.

Candle at days: 6. 10, 18 $& lockdown

Days 1- 24humidity around 40-50%

Day 25 (lockdown) up to 70-75%

Mist starting day 7, once a day with warm clean water, stop on day 24

Shellie


Day 1 is the day following when you place them in the bator.

You don't need to mist duck eggs being sat on by a broody since they provide the heat and humidity from when they take a quick swim.
