I ordered Pekin duck eggs which will be arriving tomorrow the 24th. I am going to let them sit out for 24 hours so that the air cell can go back to where it needs to be and I will start incubation on Thursday the 25th. This is the little giant still air Inc. you Bader if anyone has any tips or...
So I canceled it super quick and there is movement! So I sprayed again and refilled water and it’s at 100 degrees and 60-62 humidity. If it hatches how do I change this set up and what do I do with the lid? I need to use the same light bulb it’s all I have.
I’m hoping ! I keep checking but I don’t really know if it’s doing well or not because I can’t turn it or anything. I canceled it soooooo slightly and quickly just to make sure that it was alive but it should be any day now if it does. Do they hatch out of the air sac?
Update: currently in lockdown. We are on day 13 or 14 not sure. But I keep having to spray the incubator to keep humidity at 60 ish. Annoying but doable. Haven’t candled the egg so not even sure if it’s ok. I haven’t turned it starting yesterday and lockdown.
here’s to hoping!!🤞🏻

thank you so much!! I truly appreciate it! I have the light bulb in there but howdo I set it up for brooding incase they hatch? Temp and humidity?
It’s just a styrofoam box I made. Do I use the hay still? Towel? Paper towel? What is lockdown? Like don’t touch them? I’m sorry for all the...
So usually I don’t do anything when I see a nest and mind my own business but we put a bird feeder by our front door and just love bird watching. Well I was outside with my kids watching them play and what I believe is a house finch (thought it was a robin until I saw google pics of eggs) over...
My name is Miracle and I just wanted to introduce myself! I joined because I absolutely LOVE ducks and would love to incubate and raise my very own one day. Looking to gain some knowledge!
