I bought some Pekin Ducks and wonder at what age they will start to produce eggs. They are now 16 weeks old (I know still too young) but just wonder when they will be ready. Thanks in advance.

Way too early to candel. What your doing is the best way to kill them.

Quote: Sorry but you are wrong with the Suro. On day 18 you have to take it off the egg van to stop the turning and also change the humidity. It is not automatic. Some of the other R-COM incubators are fully automatic but not the Suro. I know because I had the very first Suro and did a lot of...

you don't need luck, all will be fine. Happy hatching.
