Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I'm not either of them, lol, but I hatch them with 65% humidity.

I just hatched Calls for the first time and 65% was the magic number as well.

3 more cases of AI, low path, in Northern Alabama... Alabama has now closed all swaps, meets, sales and transport of poultry...

Dan, if you were going to set eggs for selling babies, might want to hold off for a bit...

They're also talking of door to door checks for backyard flocks...

What was your humidity for your duck eggs during lockdown? I'm getting mixed opinions and nightmares.

I'm gonna say I'm the oddball here. I hatch my ducks at 55% BUT that is in my cabinet. The humidity reading on it tends to be lower than most hatch at. In smaller incubators I usually go for 60% to 70% on ducks.
