Congratulations on your hatch!! Any tips on hatching duck eggs? I'm trying to hatch some for a friend and the last set of 3 that made it to lockdown made it to full term but didn't hatch. They are just crossed black and white looking ducks. Not call ducks, or Indian Runners. I am now attempting to dry incubate in my Sportsman to hopefully improve my hatch rates.Total hatch out of the MeeF: 18/24. Two clears, one blood ring, one early quitter, and two DIS (one of which had a malformed skull with the brains hanging out ). I think that was a successful run overall, better than my LG would have done!
It's now reloaded with duck and goose eggs.
I wasn't getting alerts again.I ordered the electronic thermostat.
Congrats and I'd be happy with that hatch rate.Total hatch out of the MeeF: 18/24. Two clears, one blood ring, one early quitter, and two DIS (one of which had a malformed skull with the brains hanging out ). I think that was a successful run overall, better than my LG would have done!

Only thing I can think specifically about duck eggs is to make sure to mist them regularly, and let them cool for 10-15 minutes a day. Since when the duck gets up for food and such, she'll go in the water and come back wet, then sits back on the eggs that way.Congratulations on your hatch!! Any tips on hatching duck eggs?

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it!

My first attempt at ducks was a total disaster. Half my fault, half the incubator's. Only two hatched (out of 24!), one of those died a day later, and the second one had neurological issues so I had to put her down.
Also, ducks take a HELLUVA lot longer than chickens. So if you get a pip, and it's been a while, don't rush in to help. They can take over 24 hours from pip to zip.
Yeah that was my thinking, the incubator is one part from being a brand new working incubator I can use as a backup. I ended up getting the part for $75 because I had some cash back rewards on my credit card. I thought about and really didnt want to spend anymore money on it but in the end it was driving me nuts wanting to fix it. GQF didn't have the part available so I ordered it from incubator warehouse. If the part works, I will order another one for my old incubator that doesn't work also. I think having too many incubators is better than not having enough incubators.I wasn't getting alerts again.
Guess you made your decision. I do think that part is the issue and the fan not working is probably because that controls it or it's at least running through it.
It would of been a tough call for me. I'm cheap.so pouring more money into it would of been hard but a almost working incubator setting around would make me crazy.
I've never installed a fan from gqf or one specifically sold to install in one.Oh and a girl at work is going go give me an old still air incubator she has. It's got a wafer thermostat. How hard is it to install a fan in a still air?
