Ok so 3 weeks ago I set duck eggs someone gave me to hatch. Mixed in was also a few much smaller chicken eggs that I held aside and put in a week later.
Well today I go to candle, cool, and mist the duck eggs and thought I heard a peep. Figured no way. Get about half way through and pick one up and there is a very loud peep!!!! It is pipped!!! Found 1 more pipped. Did I mistake 2 (or more) chicken eggs for ducks or are these ducks that early????
I do have 2 incubators, but don't know what to do. I don't think the other 12 eggs will fit in the other incubator. I quickly took out the turning piece and bumped humidity, but that means I had to bump it on the other 12 eggs that should have a week left. I don't want to open the incubator for as long as it would take me to remove 12 eggs in hopes I can squeeze them in the 2nd incubator either. Do I just leave it for the day or so it takes for these 2 eggs to hatch then drop humidity way down again????
Help!!!!
