    Runner ducks no external pip

    I could use some HATCHING HELP info…we are incubating 6 chicken eggs and 5 duck eggs. Put chicken eggs in 7 days after ducks to account for the 21/28 day difference. We opted to set humidity to ducks instead of chicks, so humidity was in the 55 range for the 25 days. We had been candling and...
