what humidity do the duck eggs have to be during incubation? what about during hatching? please reply if you know

@URAbunnylover2 We don't measure humidity. We weigh the eggs. They should lose about 14% of their weight. We will post a video soon showing what we do.

@rwhtv my eggs are in the incubator now actually. i have 13 and candled them all today. (its day 4 today) I can see veins!!! all 13 are fertile!! i am actually very lucky. the place i bought my eggs from said that their fertility rate is about 80%. but all of mine are fertile!! and alive!! And i made the incubator myself

@URAbunnylover2 That is fantastic. Congratulations! I posted 2 videos about humidity tonight. I hope you find them helpful. They are titled "How to check humidity using egg weight #1 and #2".

Good Luck!

anyone wanna help? i have a still air hova bator and dont plan on getting a fan or an auto turner. ill turn them myself about 3 times a day. im probably getting around 10-12 how many do you think will survive? the incubator has a little area to fill with water and i will be keeping it at a steady 100 degrees F.

[URAbunnylover2]

@rwhtv thnks for the videos!! they really helped. im trying to make it very humid (about 65%) but i think the air cell is a little big for a 4 day old egg. they are incubating at 99.5 degrees. they are Khaki Campbell ducks.
