Nuture Right 360 Humidity

[RNickBarber]

We have a Nuture Right 360 and we are on day 26 for duck eggs. Per Metzer Farms, we need to raise the humidity to 80 and this machine will NOT get to 80 at all. Suggestions???

Is the hygtometer calibrated? What humidity is it stuck at?

Raising the humidity to 80% can actually damage the incubator motor. I'd do 70%.

Will the duck eggs hatch ok at 70%?

Most definitely.
I've hatched a few hundred, lol.
What kind of ducks are you hatching?

I actually have no idea if calibrated? I’m getting it to stay around 74. I just want to be sure this will be ok for duck eggs. They’ve started TINY pipping for 24 hours now. I can actually hear them but not much progress happened over night.

Ducklings can take 2 days to hatch.
And if they've externally pipped, they've done the hardest part.

I know ducks can take a while from pip to hatch. I haven't hatched ducks but thought I heard up to 48 hrs. let me ask a friend that has hatched ducks in the NR360. I know for chickens I have it at 65% there is also this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...rture-right-360-incubator-is-amazing.1294466/ that someone may be able to help you.
