Hey, new to duck incubating and this site. I've been doing lots of reading but have a few un answered questions.
I made my own incubator which is actually working! Temp stays at 35.5-37.5 and humidity hoveres between 45 and 55%. I have lost an egg or two but I have one that is very promising. They are rouen duck eggs and this one is about day 15. I've read that I need a separate hatching incubator? How do I make one that holds the correct humidity? I believe 80%? And what is lockdown? I really want to see this egg hatch and the others but I need some more info. Any help is appreciated! Also if I successfully hatch one or more what do I feed them and for how long before they can eat my normal feed?
Thanks!!
