I wish they sold incubators for use in areas with average daytime temps of 115f and nighttime temps of 75f . One of my sister had some eggs hatch that were sitting in a hidden nest that didn't have s broody on it 2 years ago.

My answer to everything is make one. Combine a swamp cooler with flow through ventilation.
 
Why does everyone want to see a video of me getting pecked or jabbing myself in the eye? :lol:
I have come to a conclusion: No, and good night. (Hehe. :p Smell you later, people.)

So egg 8 wasn't making any good progress really. It was looking dryer and dryer so I helped it out. It looks ok just acting real weak. Egg 6 still just has it's little pip with a little beak showing.
So I put 11 original duck eggs in. 1 was infertile, 1 got ring of death first week. 1 died around 14 days in, prolly from a heat spike. 1 tried hatching upside down and died. 1 got dried out out and needed help hatching but looks overall ok. 1 still needs to hatch but is pipped good. 5 hatched without issue or any real help.
Overall think this went well for my first solo attempt in a homemade cheap incubator. Looking to hatch 7 outta 8 from lockdown point.

Awesome!!! Congrats! I hope I have that good of a hatch rate with my 4th attempt. I think I will stop after this because....well I want to wait until I can get some CCL eggs out of my young girls!

I think #6 is probably stuck, too. You may want to give a hand.
