How to hatch call ducklings? ***Updated questions!****

[TriciaGr]

I am looking for any information on how to hatch Call Duck Eggs. I have had 100% hatch rate before on mail ordered Mallard duck eggs, but that was a few years ago and I understand that these are harder. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Also, my incubator is a still air. Can you please explain step by step. Temp., humidity, turning, everything please.

Do you know what temperature call ducks should be incubated at, is it 99.5 untill lock down then lower the temp by a degree or two?

I have heard some people will lower there's, me personally, have never touched the temp. i leave mine at 100 with air. I beleive the humidity is more important at lockdown stage then the temp..
