Shrink wrapped ducks?? What should I do?

WoooHOOO!!!!! That is sooooo cool that you can see it!!!! You need to start chatting with these babies and explain to them that their siblings caused you much stress and loss of sleep...they know just what to do and need to have a smoooooth hatching;)    If you talk to babies in the womb...shouldn't hatchlings in an egg work too????:idunno


Haha! Oh I do!! Rest a assured they hear plenty of noise in this house!! LOL
 
They're still just tapping shells... OMG COME ON!!! All 4 of them now!

Waiting....waiting.....
 
So I am looking to update my hatching equipment...right now I have the typical school incubator....Styrofoam???? and my thermometer's only read temp not humidity. Until this year, I have had no problem with hatching. This year, sadly none of my ducks hatched...I do think it was a humidity problem :(  Many of my eggs became darker in color...but did not smell and I could see the ducks in there.  I also had a challenge with the duck incubator with temp flexuating...my classroom temp is cold with air-conditioning and hot when they turn it off EXACTLY at 3pm. Made sure the incubators were not in a draft or by the windows.  I am going to take that incubator to my local feed store where I get the eggs so they can evaluate my incubator and see if it is broken. The incubators with chicks and quails hatched just fine.  I want to get a good thermometer....so can you recommend????  Also looking into an incubator should the one I have checked out be broken so looking for suggestions there too. I am a teacher...so not a lot of money but want good equipment so this doesn't happen again...sooooo sad :hit


The best and cheapest incubator to get is to make one, it's really easy and if something goes wrong you know exactly how to fix it..
 
Two babies tapping at their shells!

It was really hard for me NOT to type something about having two "little peckers". Bahaha. I may have just gone too far. LOL
Here's a funny for ya... My 7 yr old ( 5 at the time) calls ostrich " big hairy peckers".. No lie, she made that up on her own just based off of observing them. LOL :lau


So your teaching them at a very young age!!!! Lol
