We place 12 duck eggs inside an incubator and set up a roster for turning the eggs 5 times a day (to stop embryo from sticking to the membrane on one side). We are responsible for keeping an eye on the temperature to check it stays stable at 37 degrees celcius and will when turning eggs will mist with spray of water to keep eggs moist and prevent egg drying out.
We will discuss embryo development and observe pictures of what stages our ducklings will be at during the 28 day cycle. We will compare and discuss similar stages of development in human embryos.
