Set 20 call duck eggs on April 13th

I have a second bator going with chicken eggs too that I was candling this morning so I checked the call eggs too. ALL 20 have good veining and tiny heart beats. Any and all advice, hints, tips are welcomed and appreciated.

I am excited for you. Never incubated duck eggs - I just let the duck do that, but just adore ducklings

for a fantastic hatch.

I have some gray calls due on the 26th/27th. 16 eggs.

What are you keeping your humidity at during incubation?

I don't add any water. It usually stays around 18% or so. I do mist the eggs several times a week though and let them cool for 5 or 10 min. I also hatch them in cartons, like I do with the chicks. Seems like I get better hatch rates when they are in cartons.


Good Luck!
