Sorry but I vote no. Winds and moisture and a lot of other things can affect their body temp, I I would leave them inside at night for the next month, at least. Just my 2c

All my eggs hatched, took a week because I had some tactical errors in getting started. The school eggs had to come home after two had hatched due to bad weather closing the school so the remaining two hatched at home. One little duckie is really small compared to the rest (might be I got a...

Just put my duck eggs on lock-down. 4:30PM. How long before I can expect some pecking at membrane or shell? Getting nervous.

Yep, the kids at home are always watching when I candle, but the kids at school take turns because of the danger of dropping the eggs with so many little hands and eyes all crowing around. Next spring I will get an egg cam for the teacher, so the whole class can have face time with the eggs...

Well tomorrow night (Sunday)is lockdown for the duck eggs at home. Wed is lockdown for the eggs at the elementary school. I have to candle again today and I think I may have one at home that will have to go. If it's still floaty then it has stopped growing. But the rest are doing OK so far...

I am soooooo jealous.

Early? Gosh, I hope mine are early, however based on the latest candling, they may be a day late. I have 7 days to go, according to my 'bator. Today we will go to the school and see how the classroom batch is doing,they are a few days behind. Will be setting up the brooder in the feed room...

WVduckchick, you are so funny! I always mis-read your name as VWduckchick. I don't know how old you are, but if you are my age, back in the '60's you would have had a FABulous VW Van decorated fender-to-fender with bodacious art. I'm totally impressed with your sign.

OMG! I had to look that up, a new "word of the day." AND...you are a stellar speller, too. I've decided to throw caution (and decorum) to the winds and just go with Quack House. Truthfully, I've never had any decorum anyhow....

Oh, yeah, I'm likin' that one!

Well, I need a name for my new duck house, I thought Quack House sounded a bit too close to another spelling, kinda negative, so now I'm thinking The Quackery or Coup De Quack. Any other suggestions? I ordered a duck weather vane for the roof.

Day 20 for me, too. I have 5 left in the first incubator, had to toss one egg last night as it was a non-performer. But, there's always the four eggs I started a few days ago, they are at the elementary school so I will be finding out how well they're doing on Monday. I'm hoping to end up...

I am so excited! My grandson's teacher will be hatching 3 duck eggs in her classroom starting Tuesday. I already have the eggs in my second Brinsea Mini and will be candling them before moving all to the school. They usually have chicken eggs with a free 4H incubator (Styrofoam, manual...
