My one egg looks funny. It looks blobby and dark. But the baby is moving. And the air cell is small. And there's a funny blood line forming at the top of the egg, which is bad I know, but I can't tell if it's a bad line or a funny vein...I can't explain it.

I don't see how this duck will be ready in 4 days. It should be much bigger.

The other egg is doing fine. I don't know when it's due because I forgot to write it down. Honestly, I didn't think it would really form. It was covered in mud and had been out there for awhile.

Jonny is nice to the other 2 girls. Rudy wasn't nice to the Cayuga either though. I don't know if its the color of her or what it is. He is so pretty though. I took some of the eggs out of the nest today so I could get them warmed up and when the incubator is empty and cleaned I could put them in and see how they go.

Peeps sounds like a momma's (DG) boy. You will never be able to get rid of him/her

I have 2 that have a yellow ring, like the yolk sac broke or something but the babies are moving around big time. Increase your humidity since its a small air cell. Spray the inside of the incubator to bring it up. Do you have anything down in the incubator over the wire? I have this shelf lining stuff on mine and it helps hold the water in.

Yes I need to go raise the humidity. I'll do that now. I noticed it had dropped to 55ish. I have nothing down on the wire.. I need to get some shelving stuff to put down in there.

My humidity is at around 80 now
