exact same dry hatch method, with high humidity during the last few days for hatching. I have been having 90-100% hatches on WH this year running 20-30% humidity first 3 weeks, then up it to about 35/40 at the beginning of the 4th week, up to 65% as soon as I see the first pip. This has been working for me.New at hatching duck eggs, I have 7 WH ducks laying here with a very nice drake taking care of them (I'll post some pics soon) my question concerns incubation. I've hatched a few hundred chicks this year but know the requirements for ducks are a little different.
I use an older 1202 Sportsman,,,,, what is the preferred humidity during the incubation stage and the hatching phase?
any help much appreciated
thanks in advance

I have a vintage redwood, about a 300 egger if I really packed them in there. The last owner bypassed the original wafer thermostats and put in a GQF electronic one. It holds perfect at 99 unless it runs completely dry, then the humidity drops to about 10% and the temp slowly creeps upward. But not usually past 101 for a short time before I notice and fill the water pan.What kind of incubator do you use? Just curious. Thanks!
