Man that stinks Bock. Hope the little sticky guy makes it okay.

But hey, that's 13? Not too bad for your first try. I hope my first try goes as well. Enjoy your pretty new babies, and make sure you keep us updated with pics as they grow.

Congratulations!

I just really hope that atleast one of my ducklings make it atleast 2 eggs were moving yesterday so 2 out of 3 would be nice

 

[jossanne]

Wow, I hope so too. I love ducks!

BockBock hatching babies give off a lot of moisture when they come out of the egg.
Maybe they kept your humidity up when you were out of water....just a theory.
Hope your hatch continues esp. the ducks.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

I am looking to incubate my first batch soon.
I have a couple of questions that you may be able to answer for me.

1. How do I keep (preserve) the eggs before I set them. My chickens only lay 1-2 a day and I would like to set about a dozen.

2. When they are born, How long do you keep them in the bator before you move them out of the bator and put them into the Brooder?

Thanks in advance.

bock,
Put more water in the bator and don't give up yet. And I'm sure you know ducks take 28 days right?

for you!

Oh I am so sorry. I wonder how that happened? Is the hygrometer broken? I would pour some water in there and wait a while. Maybe there are still some that will rehydrate.
I have my second chick this morning and two pips on the mixed bantam eggs.
