Much better, thank you. How many days incubating?
Is the air cell on the side?

3 more to go! 2 making progress and one straggler, no pips on the shell yet, just rocking around.

Well i have 17 duck eggs in the incubator right now.. 4-5 are already starting to externally pipped. I might end up with them a day or two early...

Thank you! That's 16 days, looking down a bit from the small end. So that ring runs top to bottom. The aircell is big end and looks ok.

There are not many things cuter than a duckling!

Eggs on lock down. Out of 22 I had I clear and three blood rings. There was one I was not sure about, but I left it in. 18 total went into lockdown. Now the real waiting begins.

Good luck!

This is the brooder i made. The top is double hinged and folds over to make it secure. The box inside it to prevent my heat lamp from causing problems.

Very nice, well done!
