THEY'VE ZIPPED FIVE DAYS EARLY!

[Pollo Blanco]

They're 'cheeping' in the turner right now! I have another incubator without a turner in it, should I tranfer them?

 

[Pollo Blanco]

Every time you open the lid, there's more ducks!

He or she is kickin'! I know that mom is a blue Indian Runner, dad is a fawn/white Runner!

Yes get the humidity up to amd move any over with external pips
Then check the others and see where they are
What temp was your bstor at ?

98 degrees as measured by the handheld pyrometer.
Working on humidity, THANK YOU!

 

[Pollo Blanco]

Congrats!

Thanks! This is huge! Never done anything like it before!

80 in the one that’s not hatching ?

No, it's dropped back to 62. Zippers are 86. Ms duck is calm now that Mr Turkey is out!

Thanks!
I will go with 62 in the one and 85 in with the pipperz zippers and hatchers!

You can even go a bit lower
I do 45 for incubating and 65-75 for hatching. I find the 70-75 best as babies jump it up while hatching

Congrats on your new littles..

Thanks! So far five darker looking ducklings and one yellow. I know nothing about the color genetics. Supposedly Metzner breeds black males with silver females and vice versa to produce blues. My blues have always been the broodiest and most consistent layers. The blues all lay green eggs. One of my fawn/white females lays green eggs.
Exciting!
