I love your energy, wish you lived around me I'm hatching ducks and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I'm on day 22 but they look like day 24 but the air sack is smallish
Thank you, so much. I love hatching duck eggs. The air sack should get bigger by the time, they are ready to hatch. I have had some that did not get really big until day 28 and they hatch by day 30ish. I don't remember if I said, they can hatch later. I am impatient person, lol so I am a hover mother until they hatch. I hope you have healthy ducklings! If the egg is bad, it will be a dark color and if you can not see any blood vessels.
Take a momma off the nest and dip her under belly in water,,, that cools her off. Close the coop and make them stay out. That’s always worked for me with hens. Put her in a separate space works to. Normally no eggs they give up. Thanks for the duck information! Wish me luck! 🙏
I would have to disagree with you when you said to wash the eggs I been hatching for a couple years now and at first I didn't know any better and wash the eggs which is a mistake because you're removing the sealant of the mother that keeps bacteria out now that I don't wash eggs when hatching my Hatch rate has gone up so if I put 10 eggs in and they're all fertile I may have maybe one that doesn't hatch and also for storing eggs to eat if kept unwashed they can last way longer
That is perfectly fine to disagree with me on "wash the eggs" but could you clarify when I said to wash the eggs. I rewatched the video and I did not hear where I said that. I know, I said, "clean eggs" and near the end, I talked about a method, I read about. Which is to spray the eggs with a mist of warm water to mimic the mama hen. Thanks for commenting!

can 2° off really affect the egg from hatching?
It can if they are in the developing stage. It has happened to me before.
