The waiting. I've got rotating weekly hatches going on over here and I still have to stare at pipped eggs like I've never seen a duck hatch before.

Hubs would be thrilled if I kepy myself busy with laundry every hatch. Been keeping busy by scheduling hatches on a work day so HE can sit and stare at the bator.

I HAVEN'T ever saw a duck baby hatch! Only chickens lol I made my self leave for most of the day and went out and did yard work. I think humidity is a bit low 69% I filled both channels on hovabator and put a dish with a sponge. Should I put a wet paper towel in there too?Its only fair if hubby baby sits the bator lol

I'd be tempted to put a paper towel or something else in there too. But I think I'd hold off because every time you open it, you lose humidity.

If it drops lower, then I'd go ahead and stick another sponge or damp towel in.

QJ? Your opinion?
