Need hatching buddy! Setting 5 duck and 5 hen eggs Sat 1/16

Sorry I can't give you great feedback at all. I know nothing about it at all. Is it a still air? Also its been hard to get any concrete advice on humidity so I am keeping mine at 65.
I have heard that the temp can be lower for hatch but not sure if 97 is too low?
did you move the thermometer? When i took the eggs off teh turner the thermometers both got lowered significantly and it was not until I put one on top of the eggs that i realized that i had been maintaining 101.

I don't think I would worry about the temp. Mine read 98.6 this AM and I am just leaving it alone.

Thanks, I'll gladly not touch it! I have the hygrometer on the bottom of the bator not atop the eggs so maybe it isn't so bad.

I'll have to call to manufacturer next wk. for repair options.

Can't wait to hear of everyone's pipping and zipping soon!!!
 
ITS STARTING!!

We have one pip and alot of rocking. I dont know whats going to happen.

Our hatch date is tomorrow, how many days do you keep the eggs in the bator after the hatch date before you call it? I suspect we will have much activity over the next 24 hours.

I have NO idea how long it takes after pip to hatch so I will be running into my laundry room ALL NIGHT LONG to check on progress.
