Day 20 I noticed the first pip out of the eggs temp keeps fluxing between 100 and 102 so I'm a bit worried humidity is hanging steady at 57 should be a bit higher but can't be helped now
Plugged in the mini bator to get the duck eggs going I have 3 Indian runner duck eggs that where harvested two days ago I have never done duck eggs so wish me luck

Ok so just a quick update I looked in the incubator and its morning of day 21 and I have 5 very active almost dry chicks 2 almost compleatly unzipped chick and lots of pips.was wondering because a chick can slip and lose its pip spot if you move the egg what happens when the other chicks play hockey with said eggs that have piped do those eggs lose there spot?
