The Batch 1 ducklings got a new, larger, and deeper pool today (paint roller tray). Sure it looks like a real mess, but this is only 5 mins after cleaning the entire thing spotless and putting in new bedding. FIVE MINUTES. Ducks are so ultra messy it isn't even funny. I tilted the brooder and now it has a wet end and a dry end.
Batch 2 eggs aren't doing as well as Batch 1 did. It has been 24 hours since the first egg was pipped. I think it is the fan in the new incubator. I think it was drying out the eggs despite the high humidity. The fan doesn't have a switch (big design flaw,) so I opened it really quick and snipped one of its wires. I upped the humidity to make up for the problem. Hopefully, something happens tonight and they start hatching out.
There's currently 5 eggs pipped in Batch 2.
