My eggs arnt hatching (3rd batch)

They are duck eggs

Much of the information is still applicable. This article is specific to incubating Muscovy eggs, which take longer than mallard-derived breeds to incubate - see the misting and cooling info.

This is my incubator.
I dont have an extra thermometer.

I have the same model, and I have to say that I am less than impressed with it. While he temps in mine stay right about where they should, it can be VERY difficult to keep humidity levels stable. The least fluctuation in the room's air flow bumps or drops the moisture level inside the incubator. I've experimented all over my house with it, and I think I may have found the only spot that works for the beast - the "deepest" corner of my dining room. Yay. Not. But still, at least we're getting some chicks out of each hatch, now. That's definitely an improvement over last year. I'm currently saving my pennies (not my egg money ... those all went into the incubator, this spring!) to get a Brinsea, if I can. In the meantime, I'm keeping an eye out for a secondhand one. Maybe someone out there is upgrading to a larger model, and I'll get lucky!

I know Brinsea has newer models now, but if you can get your hands on an Octagon, I think you'd be pleased. I get consistently excellent hatch rates (I have the Advance but am eyeing an Eco, which you can still buy new on Amazon or eBay for around $200) and it's just rock solid.
