Staggered hatch dates

Wow, I’m so sorry!! After you mentioned the day (sorry I lost track) I thought maybe I was seeing wrong. Whew!

Go back to the original plan, keep the humidity lower until Friday. Unless you see that air cell start getting out of shape.

It does look much better size now though!

Phew, okay!! Stay tuned for tomorrow nights candle! Thank you much!!

Most likely just getting into hatching position. Possibly making an internal pip. I find that they wiggle early on, then they get settled in, then they make you think they are dead.... then they hatch.

Have you been misting the eggs? Water fowl need the eggs misted. I do once a day in the morning. Up till lock down. This link is for all waterfowl eggs.

I have read MANY mixed reviews re misting. I chose not to mist until a few days ago. It has been helping my air cells increase to what they need to be. In lockdown now

I only mist duck eggs when they need to lose a little more moisture.

Looking good! Be sure and lay the lowest side of the dip (right side in your pic) pointing upwards when you lock them down.

Ok im sorry im asking you every single question but i just looked this morning and this egg (day 26) has a couple of visable yellow spots in the air cell that werent there yesterday and i saw movement? Does this mean i have a breach egg? Lol
