Questions for misting and cooling duck eggs.

[BackyardAnimalsDucks]

As of posting this it is the night of day 6. I have decided to mist and cool my eggs starting on day 10. I’m going to do this because I usually have air sac problems. So my questions are: How long do I cool them for? What temp of water? Light mist or more of a spray? What should the eggs feel like when done? Do I leave them in the incubator or out? Will the spray effect the humidity if I leave them in? I maintain a steady 65% humidity unless it dips when I need to refill it.

Incubating at 65% humidity is the problem. Try 30-40%.

I thought that was low? 30-40% is a dry hatch for me.
