We are getting rid of our Pekin drake, Filmore, but we think we might like to breed him with our 2 females before we get rid of him to get a few more female ducks for eggs.
1. How long after mating does it take eggs to be fertile?
2. How long after mating will the ducks lay fertile eggs?
3. How long will the eggs be hatchable after they are layed?
4. Do i put them in the incubators egg turner in the same position as chicken eggs?
5. I heard that ducks take 28 days. When does lockdown start?
5. When should i candle them for the first time?
6. How often should i candle them?
7. Will i see the same thing when i candle a duck egg as when i candle a chickens?
8. How long do i leave the duck in the incubator after it hatches?
9. Do they eat chick starter or do i need to get some kind of duck starter?
10. How long after hatching should i wait before i feed it?
11. Do they always hatch right on day 28?
12. How many days after day 28 should i wait before throwing it out?
13. Can they go outside( in a brooder) immediately after hatching if it is 80-100 degrees?
As you can see i know nothing about breeding ducks! Thanks![Smile :) :)](/styles/byc-smilies/smile.png)
