Humidity needs to be very high for them to hatch.

reLly cause last time I put no water in and they all hatched out.

Ducks or chickens? Do you homework and in the end, do what you think is best.

Was it like wet outside or did it rain recently even thought he incubator is inside the air exchange from outside to inside can contribute to that

I strongly suggest that anyone less experienced read it and send it's author a PM if you have question. I truly believe that they have the experience to help.

Thanks Miss Lydia! I`m gonna get some suplements today. She`s eating very little now. So it won`t be easy to get it in her. Her legg is worse now than yesterday. I have a feeling she is giving up. It would be easyer if she wasn`t afraid of me but she`s scared as hell for me...:-(
I will take the ring of. The breeder put it on her.

Sorry i am just getting back to you muskuslove had to go into City today , If she is drinking you can put brewers yeast in her water or the niacin or the B complex maybe if she get enough of it in her water it will make a difference. How is she this afternoon?

Casportpony, thats what I went off of my last hatch. With the internally pipped ducklings can I help them by puncturing through externally so its not so hard? I put warm water in already

Doesn't that article say to crank up humidity at lockdown? You said you didn't add water, right? I'm confused...

Man, I wish you lived in Texas! I don't know why, but shipped eggs always worry me. I was looking to buy some but I really wanted to get them locally or from the San Antonio/Austin areas where I'll be this weekend. My broody hen has been giving me looks as though she knows she is sitting on wooden eggs and she won't be satisfied until I give her something good to hatch, haha!

Argh! One of my scovie babies' toes on one foot are starting to curl in...it didn't have this problem a couple days ago. The duckling is about 1 1/2- 2 weeks old, any ideas on why this has happened? And how to fix it?
