@WVduckchick I put them in on July 11. Still air incubator was at 100. What am I risking by locking down now?

it's a little giant 9300 should I fill all the chambers? Once I do that I then plug the vents? Then wait til I have new fuzzy friends? Omg!!!!

Use warm (not hot or cold) water and DO NOT PLUG YOUR VENTS!!! They absolutely need oxygen flow...

If humidity won't stay up, add moist sponges... but keep the vents open...

Aw they're precious!

Help! I hear peeping from a duck egg! I need to put that rubber shelf liner stuff so the ducklings won't slip around right? Should I increase humidity it's at 40? This is soooo exciting! What should I do? I didn't turn the eggs today, today is day 23

If it's peeping then it's internally pipped... go ahead and up the humidity to 60-65, and if you want to put in the grip liner do it now...

No, don't plug the vents-at least not for more than a few minutes...the little guys/girls need air.

You have the broodiest bunch. Adorable.

@WVduckchick ok I'll keep y'all updated...I'm very nervous. Don't want to hurt them. If it's too early will raising humidity really mess me up?

No, raising the humidity at this point in development won't hurt... is there any way you can post a pic of the eggs in your bator? I'd really like to see if we can figure out which kind of eggs you have...

 

[Ravynscroft]

Adorable, sc...

@AmyLynn2374 you're cracking me up on the x2's... and thank you...

For real? Ugh!
Didn't work
I've used Windows phones forever. My 32 gig is almost full, mostly pics and too many duck videos! (almost said chick videos but that wouldn't sound right! Lol)

Not sure what you're going to do with your chicklets. Maybe the swap will work out. Good luck and let us know!
Good luck, keep us posted with the new eggs. Me and Ruby will check in with you next January!

Oh no! What could have been the problem?

The pullets were only laying for a week and a half to two weeks. The eggs might be too small? I have no idea. Last hatch went great.
