URGENT HELP WITH DUCK EGG

[Anime2lover]

This is not a new photo it’s a while ago, I think actually my candler light being at the bottom is wrong, so I realised, suppose to have them air sac up and candle from the top at all times is this correct?

You can candle from all directions most of the time.

I think removing it is going to depend on how steady the temperature stays without it. At this age the embryos are much more sensitive to heat than a slightly lower than ideal temp. If it can't maintain a reasonably stead temp with it then it'll need to stay. Avoid making large adjustments to the temp if it does drop low.

I candle eggs the same orientation they're incubating in. That could be either upright or horizontal depending on if they are shipped and which incubator I'm using. I shine light through the aircell or behind/below. I started doing it this way because I hatch a lot of shipped eggs. With quality local eggs it's less important.

I do t know whether to start lockdown today it’s day 24 guess it’s suppose to be tomo
I can’t hear tweeting but wen u did check last I saw all five with that same sorta shadow but not a full dip yet, I was told to go in lockdown once I saw internal pip before? U think turn up humidity and do it now? I’ve taken rollers out

I'm sure you'll have a great hatch with that much movement. Just make the decisions you're comfortable with.

Ok lol! What’s the problem with jus wacking humidity up early? Will it drown them or sumink?
