Solo Duck egg moving day 20

[Mrichard0606]

Hello I had 5 jumbo Pekin duck eggs and down to only 1 that’s still alive on day 20 and I noticed today the egg is rocking already. I’ve been incubating 99-100. My humidity has def been off because for some reason the middle chamber evaporates more water than I remember in other batches I’ve done with my brisnea. I always fill it back up when I see it’s low but there’s been times it’s been completely empty when I go to turn. I’ve turned at least 3 times a day most days 5 turns. Is it too soon to be rocking? I have two other older ducks I’m guessing I’ll have to have supervision time with them since this duck will sadly hatch alone and have to wait til big enough to put with my other 2?

Not too soon at all especially for a large breed ducklings since they tend to have less room in the egg once they get closer.

Ok thanks phew. I think I had them rocking early before and hatched just fine I just couldn’t remember which day my last batch rocked. Lol I hope this is a good sign then I candled yesterday and they are dancing around in there lol.

Movement is always a good thing. Hoping you have a successful healthy hatch
