Duck Egg Update

The incubator has been running smoothly so far. We've been able to keep the laundry room around 72° and the only maintenance I need to do on the incubator is check the water level daily to keep the humidity up. 

This incubator does a pretty good job keeping the humidity a steady 55% as long as there is water in the tiny well. You can see where water is added at the bottom right of the incubator. Right now I only add water to the left side. The red tab will be pulled out three days before hatching so that we can add more water and spike the humidity. 


The egg turner moves very slowly. I would think it's not working at all, except I had marked the eggs that had been in the refrigerator with a pencil, and those eggs are sometimes visible in the front and sometimes not. 


We're day 15 of 28! Halfway there!
