Pipping but not zipping

Also we now have eggs 3 days apart. When it comes to changing incubator temoerature and humidity, what do we do if they aren't the same stage?

Yes it sounds much better than 70%.

Did you calibrate the humidity gauge though?

Yes. It was correct before. We had just been keeping it too high

Ok great.... I was just double-checking.

You put them in three separate days?

I don't think you should be changing temperature at all.

Yes. It's a long story but she's been laying sporadically and sometimes the eggs get eaten and sometimes they don't. There was one we put in 8 days ago and that was the only one she had and we had already been holding onto it for 6 days before we put it in the incubator. We were on vacation before that one was layed so I don't know if there were more prior to that. Then she stopped laying for a couple day and we hadn't be checking after that. Next time we went back there were 4 eggs and then yesterday another and today one more. And we've just been putting them in the incubator as we find them because we never know when she will stop laying or when they will get eaten, etc etc. But we read that the temperature should be dropped one degree and the humidity raised during the last 3 days of incubation. But now that they are all being placed at different times we aren't sure what it should be at. Someone local that raises ducks told us she just put eggs in as she collected them and that all of hers were always at different stages so that's what we had been doing
