What do you keep your humidity at? We're both in the midwest so it should be the same.

DUCKGIRL!!! I was wondering when you would show up. Glad to see you and yes you were right. But they are not moving the eggs. I can hear them or one I am not sure but I hear peeping and pecking. I am SO excited.

My humidity stays right around 80. And I bumped the heat up the other day to about 101. Ha I didn't notice you are from MO. what's your weather doing today? Here it is wet cold and yucky. Nothern IA got snow. Oh I hate that word. Here in Des Moines we are suppose to get that yucky stuff maybe tonight and if we don't we are supposed to go below freezing with more rain. I hate it.

Maybe I should bump mine up to 80 then? I'm afraid I'm going to drown them! We are rainy and foggy and chilly right now. You can keep the snow! I'm not ready for that yet! Let's see.. How far is Des Moines.. I think that's like 4 or 5 hours maybe?

Where in missouri are you? 3 of my ducks have never seen snow. I really hate the snow because I have to go out to the horses and goats every morning and sometimes in the evening to clean stalls and feed. And where they are in the middle of nowhere And it snows bad out there. I may have to take my husband's truck when he's out of town. He's a truck driver And he was headed for the bad snow today and tomorrow. He won't be home until wednesday night and then he's out of town again thursday night

What is your humidity at? I've been reading that it should be between 75 and 80 for the still air incubators. That's what I have.

Mine was at 60 for the batch that didn't make it... This batch is at 70.

Ugh, I hate getting this far and then losing them all!

I live in a suburb of Kansas City called Lee's Summit. About 30 minutes East of KC. 3 of my ducks and 2 chickens have never seen snow either. This should be interesting. And I've heard it's going to be a snowy winter.

 

[stillmecle]

I know where Lee's Summit is. We stayed there when we went to the Nascar races a few years ago. Too bad we didn't know you then. Yeah its about 4 hours between us.
