This is what happens... We have peepers!

Sorry I'm quiet tonight you all. Feeling a bit down and out, despite the excitement over here.

Eggsters are rocking and rolling and cheeping I won't be surprised if I wake up to ducklings in the morning.

I think you should set your phone up on the bator with a Live on Youtube so we can keep and eye on them for you tonight.

No progress overnight, but when I checked in on them and now and opened the incubator to put more water in the well they all (5) wiggled and cheeped at me when I talked to them It's so dang cute! I can't wait to see them.

The heat lamp is driving me nuts. I've tried two different ones and I have to hang it way low to get it warm enough at floor level in the brooder. I would rig up a MHP, but I'm terrified of using electric blankets after one caught fire and nearly killed a cousin of mine when we were kids. Wondering what to do.

 

[Miss Lydia]

What temp are you trying for sumi? mine do fine at 90* my ducklings are at 85*

So exciting won't be long!!

I don't have a thermometer, so I judge the temperature by hand and it's not very warm. It's warm, but it's nowhere near 85* even.

Ducklings don't need to be as warm as Chicks and I only heat part of the Brooder. I never set a temperature. I watch how my Ducklings are acting and go from their behaviour.
How exciting....I have Calls due myself today so should have Ducklings here by Monday..
Best wishes..
