Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
Why would you want to lower it beyond 41%?? You want it higher and when they are a few days from hatch ( I know you probablly don't know when they are due to hatch) you want to raise it to around 80% to ease their exit.

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
Website im using says to maintain 30% (misting 2-3 times a day) then up it to 85% when they start to pip
Quick question, with snake eggs you can cut the shell early and watch development if you are careful not to contaminate the contents, can the same be done with duck eggs?

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
Constructive criticism is constructive criticism, cant see a reason to complain about it.
Thanks gona up it to 50%, I'm not sure how old the eggs are but i saw the spot the nest was on 10 days ago and it was just gravel (i sat about 2 feet away taking a picture of a friend)

Re: Need help with Duck eggs.
a lot goes into duck eggs. used to own ducks growing up. hobavator makes incubators with turners, but you're looking at $100. and, it might be too late to save them, by the time you order and get the bator. might be best to stick em in the fridge and have some nice breakfast tomorrow. seriously. duck eggs are good eats. don't mean to offend anyone. lots of people eat duck eggs.

can't punish a natural hunter for hunting.

i'm all for preventing that kind of thing, but if it happens, you can't really punish it. it'd be like me punishing my dog for CONSTANTLY bringing me things for her to fetch ALL day, it's bred into her lol.
