new to incubating

[jimlas]

I bought some fertile runner duck eggs off from someone, and they arrived safely in the mail today. After I stuck them in the incubator I received an e-mail from her tonight telling me to wait 12 hours before I put them in the incubator. I was wondering if I just screwed everything up for a successful hatch??? Any input would be very appreciated.
Thanks, Wendy

i think they should be fine. Usually they should settle a little before you put them in. Good luck with everything

I have been reading so many contradictory humidity levels for the incubator that I am not sure what is correct.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

you will get many different answers, A ballpark figure is 40-60% for 18 days then 60-75% on last 3 days.
