no ducklings for me

Am always happy to spread ducks round the world

Am also very impressed NP you have managed not to peep already. I never manage to last more than a week ans you can usually see the embryo and its vessels by this stage

ok ten day candle we have 7 winners and 1 i dont know yet

we have lost 3 one dud and 2 infected :cry:

but 7 out of 11 is not bad in my book

Glad you've got some viable ones. Have been as anxious about yours as I was about mine I think. Fingers crossed for the hatch. I had 13 viable, 2 infected with blood rings and 1 dud and got 10 ducklings in the last hatch. Did have to help a couple out but couldn't argue with 10 beautiful ducklings.

oooo you had to help them out didnt think that would happen with an R-COM PRO :shock:

Don't know if it is as the humidity isn't quite high enough (only goes up to 70% and my book says 75% for the last 3 days) or more likely I am an inteferring meddler who just can't leave well enough alone. I did a couple of runs with the little 3 egg incubator they do that I was given for Christmas and despite internal pipping and loads of peeping they died in shell which was desperately upsetting. Decided to be a lot more proactive and help out if necessary. May have been just luck but got my babies

I sprayed my duck eggs from day 10 onwards but that was in the little 3 egg incy

5% should not have made a difference but if i have to i can add some pots of water

naturesparadise · « **Reply #25 on:** June 28, 2008, 08:55 »

well i have 7 winners at this time the i dont know one was dud :cry:

but if all goes well then we should have 7 ducks in 14 days
