Just a reminder, the day the eggs are started, broody or incubator, is day 0. The following day is day one which is one elapsed day into the process.

I am terrible when they get to that stage in the incubator, always having a peak seeing how they are getting on.
I just can't wait!

Even cracked 2 after I found one had died in the shell. They both lived and are happy little duckies.
Next time going to try no looking no touching  :thinking:

Good luck send pics!!

After all my years of hatching eggs I know of few things more wonderful than watching a new life emerge from an egg. Delivering lambs, piglets, puppies and grandchildren is awesome too :thumbsup:
Last year I took an incubator and eggs to a nursing home near here and this was so popular that I have a waiting list now ;D

Love day 21-23 (though it is a life sucker if they are in an incubator in the kitchen!!).  Congrats (seen the pics)!
