Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

Day 22! 4 days to go!! About to candle and check air cells! I’ll let you know how it goes!

 

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

Oh my god!!!!!! We’ve got a rocker!!!!! Egg 6c with the small air cell is rocking all over!!!!!
@WVduckchick should I lockdown early?

maybe just unplug the turner for now? Do you think that would be ok, since the one egg (9s is 1 day behind).

 

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

@BirdsBeesTrees you’re officially in lockdown right? How are your call eggs doing?

 

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

My video is pretty bad but you can see the egg wiggle at around :10 seconds.

A better video! It is wiggling a lot now! The turner is unplugged and I will be removing it and raising the humidity at 8:00 pm tonight. I’ll also do a last check on air cells and for internal pips!

Just officially went into lockdown! We've got 2 rockers now! I added water into B and took out the Turner +put in the shelf liner. After adding water I cannot get the temp to go above 97.0 it's been at that for about 15 minutes. Do you think it will stabilize soon? I've never had this happen. I probably should've warmed the water as it was at room temperature. I'm worried.

Egg 9s is the second rocker and its the one that's 1 day behind! Day 21.

 

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

Well it's at 97.5 now. We are slowly getting there.

Edit 98

We are back up to temp! 9s and 6c are rocking away!

It should be just fine.
Think about how long Mama ducks get off the nest sometimes.
